The
IceCube Collaboration announced in 2013 the long-awaited detection of
astrophysical high-energy neutrinos. Meanwhile, the basic properties of
this neutrino flux of surprisingly large magnitude have been
established. After a review of the main ideas of high-energy neutrino
astrophysics, I discuss possible sources for these neutrinos and their
signatures. Since the production of neutrinos and photons in cosmic ray
collisions is intimately linked, a combined study of possible sources of
ultrahigh energy cosmic rays, neutrinos and photons becomes possible and
I review some recent results.
