In GCN 21508 we recently reported that the identification of IceCube neutrino candidates that are temporally and directionally coincident with LIGO/Virgo G298048.
A comparison of these neutrino candidates with Fermi GBM trigger 524666471/170817529 shows that one IceCube neutrino candidate is also *directionally* coincident with 90% CL of the Fermi GRB event. The coordinates of this reconstructed neutrino source are below:
# dt[s] RA[deg] Dec[deg] E[TeV] Sigma[deg]
------------------------------------------------------------------
4. -153.47 182.0 -3.2 0.88 0.9
(dt--time from GW in [seconds]; RA/Dec--sky location in [degrees]; E--reconstructed secondary muon energy in [TeV]; Sigma--uncertainty of direction reconstruction in [degrees])
