The IceCube online selection did not identify this event as a Gold or Bronze starting track. However, based on advanced reconstructions performed offline, we identify this event as a potential astrophysical neutrino of interest to the community, given its topology and light deposition. Because the event was not identified as either Gold or Bronze, we do not currently report a false alert rate or signalness. The IceCube detector was in a normal operating state at the time of detection.\n\nAdvanced reconstruction algorithms have been applied offline, with the direction estimated to be:\n\nDate: 21/07/17\nTime: 15:45:19.48 UT\nRA: 46.49 (+ 2.40 - 2.57 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000\nDec: -1.34 (+ 2.63 - 3.41 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\nThere is one Fermi-LAT 4FGL source inside the 90% localization region, 4FGL J0304.5-0054, located at RA 46.14 deg and Dec -0.91 deg (J2000), at a distance of 0.55 degrees from the best-fit location. The source is also listed in the Fermi 3FHL hard-spectrum source catalog.\n\nThe IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica.
