TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 34776 SUBJECT: AMON Coincidence Alert from the sub-threshold IceCube-HAWC search NuEm-230927A DATE: 23/09/27 17:56:35 GMT FROM: Hugo Ayala at Pennsylvania State University hgayala@psu.edu
The AMON, IceCube, and HAWC collaborations report:
The AMON NuEm stream channel found a coincidence alert from the IceCube online neutrino selection + HAWC daily monitoring analysis. The analysis looks for IceCube neutrino events -mostly atmospheric in origin- around the position and transit time of a HAWC cluster of likely gamma rays, as identified in the integrated observations from a single transit, in this case having a duration of 6.06 hours.
The HAWC transit interval starts from 2023/09/27 01:10:10 UT to 2023/09/27 07:20:17 UT (End of the HAWC transit time)
The location of the coincidence is reported as RA (J2000): 331.92 deg Dec (J2000): 12.44 deg Location uncertainty (50% containment): 0.13 deg (statistical only). Location uncertainty (90% containment): 0.24 deg (statistical only).
The false alarm rate (FAR) of this coincidence is 3.9 per year. We encourage follow-up observations of the alert region contingent on the availability of resources and interest, given the quoted FAR.
AMON seeks to perform a real-time correlation analysis of the high-energy signals across all known astronomical messengers.
