  "body": "The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports:\n\nA search for track-like muon neutrino events detected by IceCube consistent with the sky\nlocalization of the low-significance gravitational wave candidate S230726b in a time range of 1000 seconds\ncentered on the alert event time (2023-07-26 01:06:47  UTC to 2023-07-26 01:23:27 UTC)\nhas been performed [1,2]. During this time period IceCube was collecting good quality data.\nOne hypothesis test was conducted for this low-significance gravitational wave event. The\nsearch uses a Bayesian approach to quantify the joint GW + neutrino event significance, which\nassumes a binary merger scenario and accounts for known astrophysical priors, such as GW source\ndistance, in the significance estimate [3].\n\nOne track-like event is found in spatial and temporal coincidence with the gravitational-wave\ncandidate S230726b calculated from the map circulated by LVK as S230726b-2-Preliminary. This\nrepresents an overall pre-trial p-value of 0.0089 for the Bayesian search.\n\nThe reported p-value here does not account for any trials correction (multiple hypotheses testing). The false alarm rate of these coincidences can be obtained by multiplying the p-values with their corresponding GW trigger rates.  Further details are available at https://gcn.nasa.gov/missions/icecube. \n\nProperties of the coincident event(s) are shown below.\n\ndt(s)\tRA(deg)\t\tDec(deg)\tAngular uncertainty(deg)  p-value(generic transient) p-value(Bayesian)\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n80.15   131.82   \t1.68    \t1.889                \t\tnot applicable       \t0.0098\n...\n\nwhere:\ndt = Time of track event minus time of GW trigger (sec)\nAngular uncertainty = Angular uncertainty of track event: the radius of a circle\n \trepresenting 90% CL containment by area.\np-value = the p-value for this specific track event from each search.\n\nThe IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the\ngeographic South Pole, Antarctica.
