Description
IceCube's discovery of a diffuse flux of astrophysical neutrinos, in other words, the universe's glow in neutrinos from beyond the solar system, started a new era of neutrino astronomy. I will discuss in detail the multiple diffuse flux analyses in IceCube that observe the astrophysical flux, and what each can tell us. Spatial analyses that aim to identify the sources of such astrophysical neutrinos will be discussed.
