Multimessenger astrophysics represents an emerging approach to studying the universe, leveraging multiple cosmic "messengers" to gather information about astronomical events. These messengers include electromagnetic radiation, gravitational waves, neutrinos and cosmic rays. By simultaneously detecting these diverse signals from a single event, we can achieve a more holistic understanding of astrophysical processes, as each messenger provides a unique perspective and probes different physical processes. Such combined observation allow researchers to cross-verify findings, probe the physics underpinning these events, and open new windows into the universe's mysteries.
