TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 35290 SUBJECT: Fermi-LAT gamma-ray observations of IceCube-231202A DATE: 23/12/06 14:52:23 GMT FROM: chiara.bartolini-1@unitn.it C. Bartolini (Univ of Trento & INFN Bari), S. Garrappa (Weizmann Institute of Science), S. Buson (Univ of Wuerzburg), J. Sinapius (DESY) and Leonard Pfeiffer (Univ of Wuerzburg) on behalf of the Fermi-LAT collaboration: We report an analysis of observations of the vicinity of the IC231202A high-energy neutrino event (GCN 35225) with all-sky survey data from the Large Area Telescope (LAT), on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The IceCube event was detected on 2023-12-02 at 17:08:24.09 UT (T0) with J2000 position RA = 139.04 (+1.52, -1.96) deg, Decl. = +0.37 (+1.11, -1.40) deg (90% PSF containment). According to the fourth Fermi LAT source catalog (4FGL-DR4), there is one 4FGL-DR4 cataloged gamma-ray (>100 MeV; The Fermi-LAT collaboration 2022, ApJS, 260, 53) source, 4FGL J0909.1+0121 (PKS 0906+01), in the 90% IC231202A uncertainty localization region. Based on a preliminary analysis of the LAT data over one month and day timescale prior T0, this object is not significantly detected at gamma rays. We searched for intermediate (days to years) timescale emission from a new gamma-ray source. Preliminary analysis indicates no significant (> 5 sigma) new excess emission (> 100 MeV) at the IC231202A best-fit position. Assuming a power-law spectrum (photon index = 2.0 fixed) for a point source at the IC231202A best-fit position, the >100 MeV flux upper limit (95% confidence) is <6.0e-10 ph cm^-2 s^-1 for ~15-years (2008-08-04 to 2023-12-02 UTC), and < 4.3e-9 (<6.1 e-8) ph cm^-2 s^-1 for a 1-month (1-day) integration time before T0. Since Fermi normally operates in an all-sky scanning mode, regular monitoring of this region will continue. For this observation the Fermi-LAT contact person is C. Bartolini (chiara.bartolini at ba.infn.it). The Fermi-LAT is a pair conversion telescope designed to cover the energy band from 20 MeV to greater than 300 GeV. It is the product of an international collaboration between NASA and DOE in the U.S. and many scientific institutions across France, Italy, Japan and Sweden.
