University of Mons-Hainaut, Mons, Belgium High energy neutrinos constitute highly valuable astronomical messengers. Unlike photons or protons, they can travel cosmic distances without being absorbed or deflected from their initial direction of propagation and deliver unaltered information related to the site of their emission. The Universe being transparent to photons only up to modest energies, neutrinos thus can be the indispensable partners of 'conventional' astronomy to probe the most violent astrophysical objects. Completed in 2000 at South Pole, the AMANDA neutrino telescope, prototype instrument of the IceCube neutrino observatory, has collected data since 1997. These have been analysed in order to find evidence of a neutrino signal coming from objects such as microquasars, Active Galactic Nuclei, supernovae remnants or Gamma Ray Bursts. In this talk, we will review the different strategies developed in this quest and present the latest results and limits placed on fluxes of astrophysical neutrinos.
