[vsnet-grb-info 39090] IceCube-250708A - IceCube observation of a high-energy neutrino candidate track-like event
by GCN Circulars 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41039 SUBJECT: IceCube-250708A - IceCube observation of a high-energy neutrino candidate track-like event DATE: 25/07/08 18:56:33 GMT FROM: A. Zegarelli at Ruhr University Bochum <azegarelli(a)icecube.wisc.edu> The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports: On 25-07-08 at 14:05:19.54 UT IceCube detected a track-like event with a moderate probability of being of astrophysical origin. The event was selected by the ICECUBE_Astrotrack_BRONZE alert stream. The average astrophysical neutrino purity for Bronze alerts is 30%. This alert has an estimated false alarm rate of 1.6259 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/141112_11292662.amon) more sophisticated reconstruction algorithms have been applied offline, with the direction refined to: Date: 25-07-08 Time: 14:05:19.54 UT RA: 222.71 (+0.52/-0.54 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000 Dec: 26.49 (+0.47/-0.47 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.

[vsnet-grb-info 39089] GRB 250704B / EP250704a: VLA radio detection
by GCN Circulars 08 Jul '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41038 SUBJECT: GRB 250704B / EP250704a: VLA radio detection DATE: 25/07/08 17:46:51 GMT FROM: Genevieve Schroeder at Cornell University <genevieveschroeder(a)u.northwestern.edu> G. Schroeder (Cornell), J. Rastinejad, W. Fong (Northwestern), T. Laskar (Utah) report: We observed the location of the short-duration GRB 250704B/EP 250704A (Wang et al., GCN 40940; Li et al., GCNs 40941, 40956, Frederiks et al., GCN 40972; Wang et al., GCN 40978; Shimizu et al., GCN 41025) with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in C configuration under program 25A-063 (PI Schroeder) at a mid time of 2025 July 8 at 09:57 UT (4.1 days post-burst) for 1.25 hours at a mean frequency of 6 GHz. In preliminary analysis, we detect a 20-sigma radio source with a flux density of ~150 microJy at the position: RA(J2000) = 20:03:29.511 Dec(J2000) = +12:01:23.31 with an uncertainty of ~0.2" in each coordinate. This position is consistent with the X-ray position (Li et al., GCNs 40941, 40956; Evans et al. GCN 40951, Salvaggio et al. GCN 40987) and optical position (Schneider et al., GCN 40942). At z=0.661 (An et al. GCN 40966), this corresponds to a rest-frame luminosity of ~ 2e30erg/s/Hz, on the bright end of typical short-duration Gamma-ray burst radio afterglow luminosities at a similar rest-frame time (e.g., Laskar et al. 2022). Further observations are planned to assess the variability of the radio source and its connection to GRB 250704B and EP250704A. We thank the VLA staff for quickly approving and executing these observations.

[vsnet-grb-info 39086] IceCube-250706A: Upper limits from a search for additional neutrino events in IceCube
by GCN Circulars 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41035 SUBJECT: IceCube-250706A: Upper limits from a search for additional neutrino events in IceCube DATE: 25/07/08 17:20:16 GMT FROM: Jessie Thwaites at IceCube/U Wisc-Madison <thwaites(a)wisc.edu> 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-250706A (https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/40994) in a time range of 1000 seconds centered on the alert event time (2025-07-06 13:06:20.040 UTC to 2025-07-06 13:23:00.040 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-250706A. We report a p-value of 1.00 in this time window. 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-250706A is 1.5e-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 2e+02 GeV and 6e+04 GeV. A subsequent search was performed including 2 days of data centered on the alert event time (2025-07-05 13:14:40.040 UTC to 2025-07-07 13:14:40.040 UTC). In this case, we report a p-value of 1.00, 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-250706A is 1.8e-01 GeV cm^-2 in a 2 day time window.

[2] Using the masses and spins inferred from the signal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object (HasRemnant) is <1%. [2] Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the support of several neutron star equations of state for maximum neutron star mass. The probability that either of the binary components lies between 3 and 5 solar masses (HasMassGap) is <1%. The probability that the lighter compact object is below 1 solar mass (HasSSM) is <1%. The source chirp mass falls with highest probability in the bin (5.5, 11.0) solar masses after parameter estimation [1], assuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41030 SUBJECT: EP250704a/GRB250704B : HCT optical and NIR upper limits DATE: 25/07/08 15:06:08 GMT FROM: V. Swain at IIT Bombay <vishwajeet.s(a)iitb.ac.in> V. Swain (IITB), D. Eappachen (IIA), T. Mohan (IITB), A.P. Saikia (IITB), D.K. Sahu (IIA), A. Balasubramanian (IIA), G. C. Anupama (IIA), V. Bhalerao (IITB), S. Barway (IIA), M. Nayana (IAO), S. Bandari (IAO) : We observed the field of EP250704a (Li et al., GCN 40941) also detected by SVOM (GRB 250704B; Wang et al., GCN 40940), with the 2.0m Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT) of the Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO). We obtained multiple exposures in J and r' filters. We obtained the following upper limits: | JD (mid) | Date-Time (UTC)| Filter | Total Exposure (s) | tmid-t0 (days) | 5-sigma Upper Limit (AB) | | ---------------- |---------------- | ------ | ------------------ | -------------- | ---------------- | | 2460862.386666 | 2025-07-05T21:16:47.94 | J | 1170 | 1.54 | 18.9 | | 2460864.216936 | 2025-07-07T17:12:23.27 | r' | 3600 | 3.37 | 21.8 | The magnitudes are calibrated against PanSTARRS DR1 for SDDS r' filter (Chambers et al., 2016) and against 2MASS catalog (Skrutskie et al., 2006) for J-filter. The magnitudes are not corrected for Galactic extinction. The result is consistent with other optical observations. These observations were carried out under the ToO program HCT-2025-C2-P010. We thank the HCT staff for their support during the observations. The Indian Astronomical Observatory is operated by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru, India.
