TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36892 SUBJECT: Fermi-LAT gamma-ray observations of IceCube-cascade-240714A DATE: 24/07/16 19:06:58 GMT FROM: Leo Pfeiffer at University of Würzburg <pfeiffer.leo@gmail.com> L. Pfeiffer (Univ. of Wuerzburg), S. Buson (DESY, Univ. of Wuerzburg), C. Bartolini (INFN Bari), S. Garrappa (Weizmann Institute of Science) and J. Sinapius (DESY) on behalf of the Fermi-LAT collaboration: We report an analysis of observations of the vicinity of the high-energy track-like neutrino events (ATEL #16708) coincident with IceCube-cascade 240714A with all-sky survey data from the Large Area Telescope (LAT), on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The IceCube cascade event was detected on 2024-07-14 14:57:38.54 UTC (T0) with J2000 position RA = 243.5028 (-11.08,+11.08) deg, Decl. = -40.8882 (-11.08,+11.08) deg 90% PSF containment. A subsequent search integrating two days of data centered at the alert time revealed two IceCube track-like events consistent with IceCube-cascade 240714A. The best-fit direction for a potential source producing the cascade and two tracks was RA = 243.28 deg, Dec = -36.61 deg (J2000), with an estimated error radius of 0.3 deg at 90% containment. No cataloged gamma-ray sources are found within the 90% localization error of the track-like events (Fourth Fermi-LAT catalog, 4FGL-DR4, The Fermi-LAT collaboration 2023, arXiv:2307.12546). We searched for the existence of intermediate (days to years) timescale emission from a new gamma-ray transient source. Preliminary analysis indicates no significant (>5sigma) new excess emission (> 100 MeV) within the 90% confidence localization. We assume a power-law spectrum (photon index = 2.0 fixed) for a point source centered on the best-fit direction. The >100 MeV flux upper limit (95% confidence) is <6.93e-10 ph cm^-2 s^-1 for ~16-years (2008-08-04 / 2024-07-16 UTC), <8.68e-09 ph cm^-2 s^-1 for a 1-month integration time before T0 and <7.20e-08 ph cm^-2 s^-1 for 2-day integration centered on T0. Since Fermi normally operates in an all-sky scanning mode, regular monitoring of this source will continue. For this source the Fermi-LAT contact person is L. Pfeiffer (leonard.pfeiffer at stud-mail.uni-wuerzburg.de). 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.
