TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 33651 SUBJECT: IceCube-Cascade 230417A: Upper limits from a search for additional neutrino events in IceCube DATE: 23/04/19 00:58:04 GMT FROM: Jessie Thwaites at IceCube/U Wisc-Madison The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports: IceCube has performed a search [1] for additional track-like muon neutrino events arriving from the direction of IceCube-Cascade 230417A (https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_amon_icecube_cascade/137845_43811235.amon) in a time range of 1000 seconds centered on the alert event time (2023-04-17 19:56:18.420 UTC to 2023-04-17 20:12:58.420 UTC) during which IceCube was collecting good quality data. Excluding the event that prompted the alert, zero track-like events are found within the 90% containment region of IceCube-Cascade 230417A. The IceCube sensitivity to neutrino point sources with an E^-2.5 spectrum (E^2 dN/dE at 1 TeV) within the locations spanned by the 90% spatial containment region of IceCube-Cascade 230417A ranges from 2.0e+01 to 2.8e+01 GeV cm^-2 in a 1000 second time window. 90% of events IceCube would detect from a source at this declination with an E^-2.5 spectrum have energies in the approximate energy range between 5e+04 GeV and 4e+06 GeV. A subsequent search was performed including 2 days of data centered on the alert event time (2023-04-16 20:04:38.420 UTC to 2023-04-18 20:04:38.420 UTC). In this case, we report a p-value of 0.99, consistent with no significant excess of track events. The IceCube sensitivity to neutrino point sources with an E^-2.5 spectrum (E^2 dN/dE at 1 TeV) within the locations spanned by the 90% spatial containment region of IceCube-Cascade 230417A ranges from 2.1e+01 to 3.0e+01 GeV cm^-2 in a 2 day time window. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica.
