  "body": "The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports:\n\nIceCube has performed a search for additional track-like muon neutrino events arriving\nfrom the direction of IceCube-190503A (https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn3/24378.gcn3) in a time\nrange of 2 days centered on the alert event time (2019-05-02 17:23:39 UTC to 2019-05-04 17:23:39 UTC) during which IceCube was collecting good quality data. Excluding the\nevent that prompted the alert, zero additional track-like events are found in spatial coincidence\nwith the 90% PSF containment of IceCube-190503A. We find that these data are well described\nby atmospheric background expectations, with a p-value of 1.0. Accordingly, these data would\nrepresent a time-integrated muon-neutrino flux upper limit assuming an E^-2 spectrum (E^2\ndN/dE) at the 90% CL of 3.5 x 10^-5 TeV cm^-2 for this observation period. 90% of events\nIceCube would detect from a source at this declination with an E^-2 spectrum are between\napproximately 10 TeV and 3 PeV.\n\nA subsequent search was performed to include the previous month of data (2019-04-03 17:23:39 UTC to 2019-05-04 17:23:39 UTC). In this case, we also report a p-value of 1.0,\nconsistent with no significant excess of track events, and a corresponding time-integrated\nmuon-neutrino flux upper limit assuming an E^-2 spectrum (E^2 dN/dE) at the 90% CL of\n6.7 x 10^-5 TeV cm^-2.\n\nThe IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica.
