Search for GeV flare coincident with the IceCube neutrino flare (1807.05057v2)

Published 13 Jul 2018 in astro-ph.HE

Abstract: Recently the IceCube collaboration and 15 other collaborations reported the spatial and temporal coincidence between the neutrino event IceCube-170922A and the radio-TeV activity of the blazar TXS 0506+056. Their further analysis on 9.5 years of IceCube data discovered neutrino flare between September 2014 and March 2015, when TXS 0506+056 is however in "quiescent" state. We analyze the Fermi-LAT data in that direction, and find another bright GeV source PKS 0502+049, which is at an angle of $1.2{\circ}$ from TXS 0506+056, with strong activties during the neutrino flare. No other bright GeV source was detected in the region of interest. Though PKS 0502+049 is $1.2\circ$ separated from TXS 0506+056, it locates within the directional reconstruction uncertainties of 7 neutrinos, out of the 13 neutrino events during the neutrino flare. Together with the observed high flux of the $\gamma$-ray flare, it may be unreasonable to fully discard the (partial) contribution of PKS 0502+049 to the neutrino flare. The single source assumption used in the neutrino data analysis might need to be revisited.
