J. Wood (NASA/MSFC) reports on behalf of the Fermi-GBM team:
For the IceCube high-energy neutrino candidate event IceCube-200615A
(GCN 27950), at the event time Fermi-GBM was observing the reported
neutrino location at:
RA: 142.95 (+1.18 -1.45 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000
Dec: 3.66 (+1.19 -1.06 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000
There was no Fermi-GBM onboard trigger around the event time of the
neutrino candidate. An automated, blind search for short gamma-ray
bursts below the onboard triggering threshold in Fermi-GBM also
identified no counterpart candidates. The GBM targeted search,
the most sensitive, coherent search for GRB-like signals,
was run from +/-30 s around the neutrino candidate time.
From this search, no significant signal was found related
to IceCube-200615A.
We set upper limits on impulsive gamma-ray emission. Using the
representative soft, normal, and hard GRB-like templates described in
arXiv:1612.02395, we set the following 3 sigma flux upper limits over
10-1000 keV (in units of 10^-7 erg/s/cm^2):

These results are preliminary.
