TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45337 SUBJECT: IceCube-260805A: Upper limits from a search for additional neutrino events in IceCube DATE: 26/08/09 23:42:20 GMT FROM: syan079@icecube.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-260805A (https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/45294)in a time range of 1000 seconds centered on the alert event time (2026-08-05 13:53:19.709 UTC to 2026-08-05 14:09:59.709 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-260805A. We report a p-value of 1.00 in this time window. IceCube’s sensitivity to neutrino point sources with an E^-2.5 spectrum, expressed as E^2 dN/dE evaluated at 1 TeV, is 1.4e-01 GeV cm^-2 within the 90% spatial containment region of IceCube-260805A 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 7e+04 GeV. A subsequent search was performed including 2 days of data centered on the alert event time (2026-08-04 14:01:39.709 UTC to 2026-08-06 14:01:39.709 UTC). In this case, we report a p-value of 1.00, consistent with no significant excess of track events. IceCube’s sensitivity to neutrino point sources with an E^-2.5 spectrum, expressed as E^2 dN/dE evaluated at 1 TeV, is 1.7e-01 GeV cm^-2 within the 90% spatial containment region of IceCube-260805A in a 2 day time window. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica.
