AMANDA and IceCube: neutrino astronomy at the south pole

Ignacio Taboada, the IceCube collaboration
2006 Journal of Physics, Conference Series  
AMANDA is a high energy neutrino telescope consisting of 677 optical modules at 1.5-2 km depth in glacial ice at the south pole. We summarize AMANDA results for observation of atmospheric neutrinos and searches of extraterrestrial neutrinos from point sources, gamma ray bursts and diffuse fluxes. Upper limits at 90%CL are presented. The status of IceCube, the 1 km 3 successor to AMANDA currently under construction is presented.
