7 Multi-messenger approach to astrophysical neutrinos Import to understand contributions from unresolved PSs (e.g., blazars) to IGRB to constrain diffuse contributions (e.g., star-forming galaxies)
8 PSs important for gamma-ray signals of DM Import to understand contributions from unresolved PSs to gamma-ray background to constrain contributions from dark matter (DM)
