IceCube-220624A: One Candidate Counterpart from Swift/XRT follow up observations
Abstract
The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory X-ray Telescope (XRT) observed the uncertainty region of the IceCube neutrino event IceCube-220622A (GCN Circ. 32260) between 2022-06-24 20:07 UTC and 2022-06-25 02:24 UTC. A 7-point tiling observation centered on the neutrino position was taken for a total of 6.8 ksec. One possible X-ray candidate counterparts was detected with a flux of ~5x10^-13 erg/s/cm^2. The counterpart is consistent with the active galaxy 1RXS J145552.7+414026 at an angular distance of 0.38 degrees from the neutrino position. Multiwavelength follow-up of the source is encouraged.
