Neutrino Astronomy with the IceCube Observatory and Implications for Astroparticle Physics

The IceCube Observatory is a km^3 neutrino telescope currently under construction at the geographic South Pole. It will comprise 4800 optical sensors deployed on 80 vertical strings between 1450 and 2450 meters under the ice surface. Currently IceCube is operational and recording data with 40 string...
