[vsnet-grb-info 40981] IceCube-251130A - IceCube observation of a high-energy neutrino candidate track-like event

30 Nov '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42909 SUBJECT: IceCube-251130A - IceCube observation of a high-energy neutrino candidate track-like event DATE: 25/11/30 19:37:39 GMT FROM: A. Zegarelli at Ruhr University Bochum <azegarelli(a)icecube.wisc.edu> The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports: On 25-11-30 at 17:53:30.69 UT IceCube detected a track-like event with a high probability of being of astrophysical origin. The event was selected by the ICECUBE_Astrotrack_GOLD alert stream. The average astrophysical neutrino purity for Gold alerts is 50%. This alert has an estimated false alarm rate of 1.1099 events per year due to atmospheric backgrounds. The IceCube detector was in a normal operating state at the time of detection. After the initial automated alert (https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_amon_g_b/141654_31953389.amon) more sophisticated reconstruction algorithms have been applied offline, with the direction refined to: Date: 25-11-30 Time: 17:53:30.69 UT RA: 229.7 (+0.53/-0.52 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000 Dec: -5.53 (+0.58/-0.6 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000 We encourage follow-up by ground and space-based instruments to help identify a possible astrophysical source for the candidate neutrino. No known gamma-ray sources listed in the Fermi 4FGL-DR4 or 3FHL catalogs are located within the 90% uncertainty region of the event. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42908 SUBJECT: EP251130a: Swift-XRT counterpart detection DATE: 25/11/30 19:00:56 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9(a)star.le.ac.uk> P.A. Evans (U. Leicester), J.A. Kennea (PSU), E. Ambrosi (INAF-IASFPA) , A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester), M.G. Bernardini (INAF-OAB), R. Brivio (INAF-OAB), D.N. Burrows (PSU), S. Campana (INAF-OAB), M.

Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB), M.A. Williams (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the Einstein Probe/WXT-detected source EP251130a, collecting 2.0 ks of Photon Counting (PC) mode data between T0+5.8 ks and T0+11 ks after the trigger. A likely counterpart has been found. The details of this source are: Source 1 (SWIFT J064404.8+272302): ================================== RA (J2000.0): 101.0203 = 06 44 04.87 Dec (J2000.0): +27.3839 = +27 23 02.0 Error: 3.9 (arcsec, radius, 90% confidence). Detect flag: GOOD Distance: 75 arcsec from the Einstein Probe/WXT position. Mean rate: 0.0618 [+0.0070, -0.0068] ct s^-1 Mean flux: (2.21 [+0.25, -0.24])e-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1 Peak rate: 0.139 +/- 0.031 ct s^-1 Peak flux: (5.0 +/- 1.1)e-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1 ECF: 3.57e-11 erg cm^-2 ct^-1 assuming NH=1.80e+21 cm^-2, gamma=1.97 determined from a spectral fit. XMM UL: 3.5e-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1, (0.3-10 keV) so the source is 1.4-sigma above this 3-sigma upper limit. The source may be fading, at the 2.6-sigma level. This position is consistent with the candidate optical counterpart reported by COLIBRI (GCN 42904). All fluxes are 0.3-10 keV, observed. For all flux conversions and comparisons with catalogues and upper limits from other missions, we assumed a power-law spectrum with NH=3x10^20 cm^-2 and photon index (Gamma)=1.7 unless otherwise stated. The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis of the XRT observations, including a position-specific upper limit calculator, are available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/EP/EP_FIELD00085.

We observed from 2025-11-30T12:09:17 to 12:28 UTC (from 1.02 to 1.34 hours after the trigger) and obtained 16 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r and z filters. The data were reduced, coadded and analysed with the COLIBRÍ pipeline. The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction. In the stacked image, we detect an uncatalogued source at the coordinates: RA = 101.0205 deg, Dec = 27.3840 deg with an uncertainty of 0.5 arcsec, compatible with the EP/FXT position (Wu et al., GCN 42903), at preliminary magnitudes of: r = 20.69 +/- 0.03 z = 19.45 +/- 0.03 We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir and the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams. COLIBRÍ is an astronomical observatory developed and operated jointly by France (AMU, CNES and CNRS) and Mexico (UNAM and SECIHTI).

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42903 SUBJECT: EP251130a: Einstein Probe detection of an X-ray transient DATE: 25/11/30 11:51:35 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta(a)bao.ac.cn> T. Wu, H. C. Ding (AHNU), Y. H. Jiang, Y. Wu (NJU), Y. Wang (PMO), W. J. Zhang, Y. Liu (NAO, CAS), on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: We report on the detection of an X-ray transient by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) on board the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, designated EP251130a. The transient triggered EP-WXT (ID: 01709249022) at 2025-11-30T11:07:49 (UTC). The WXT position of the source is R.A. = 101.041 deg, DEC = 27.394 deg (J2000) with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin in radius (90% C.L. statistical and systematic). A follow-up observation with the Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT) was performed automatically. Within the WXT error circle, an uncatalogued X-ray source was detected at R.A. = 101.0242 deg, DEC = 27.3824 deg (J2000) with an uncertainty of 20 arcsec in radius (90% C.L. statistical and systematic). Further information will be updated when the telemetry data is received. Launched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics).
