AMON Coincidence Alert from the sub-threshold IceCube-HAWC search NuEm-220728A
Abstract
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 5.08 hours. The HAWC transit interval starts from 28/07/2022 14:16:45 UT - 28/07/2022 20:25:53 UT (End of the HAWC transit time) The location of the coincidence is reported as RA (J2000): 108.88 deg Dec (J2000): 40.92 deg Location uncertainty (50% containment): 0.27 deg (statistical only). Location uncertainty (90% containment): 0.49 deg (statistical only). The false alarm rate (FAR) of this coincidence is 1.14 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.
