The event was a High Energy Starting Event (HESE). The IceCube detector was in a normal operating state. HESE events have a neutrino vertex inside of the detector (to reduce background) and have a high light level (a proxy for energy).\n\nAfter the initial automated alert (http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_amon/38561326_128672.amon), more sophisticated reconstruction algorithms have been applied offline, with the direction refined to:\n\nDate: 2016/11/03\nTime: 09:07:31.12 UT\nRA: 40.83 deg (+1.10 -0.70 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000\nDec: 12.56 deg (+1.10 -0.65 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000\n\nWe encourage follow-up by ground and space-based instruments to help identify a possible astrophysical source for the candidate neutrino.\n\nThe IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica.
