The study of compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars is an important component of modern astrophysics. Recent detections of astrophysical neutrinos, gamma rays, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, and gravitational waves open up opportunities to study compact objects with multimessengers. In this talk, we first review the latest progress in astroparticle physics, including some surprising puzzles revealed by new observations. We demonstrate that the key to multimessenger astrophysics is to understand and establish the link between the messengers. We then illustrate how to reach this goal from both theoretical and observational perspectives. From the theoretical side, we show that high-energy particle propagation in the vicinity of compact objects may play an important role in connecting multiwavelength observation and source physics. From the observational side, we investigate analysis frameworks aiming to exploit data across multiple wavelengths and messengers.
