A search for time dependent neutrino emission from microquasars with the ANTARES telescope

Abstract: Results are presented on a search for neutrino emission from a sample of six microquasars, based on the data collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope between 2007 and 2010. By means of appropriate time cuts, the neutrino search has been restricted to the periods when the acceleration of relativistic jets was taking place at the microquasars under study. The time cuts have been chosen using the information from the X-ray telescopes RXTE/ASM and Swift/BAT, and, in one case, the gamma-ray telescope Fermi/LAT. … Show more

“…In this paper, the results of a time-dependent search for cosmic neutrino sources using the ANTARES data taken from 2008 to 2012 is presented. This extends a previous ANTARES analysis [23] where only six sources and the first three years of data-taking were considered. It is also complementary to a previous IceCube transient analysis [24] which considered few X-ray binary systems.…”

“…However, it is important to stress that the value of L LS 5039 ν we will adopt to typify the population is very conservative for far away sources, as one can observe in Table II. In closing, we note that though the IceCube bounds are currently the most stringent, ANTARES has the potential to discover exceptionally bright bursting sources in the Southern sky [73].…”

“…Microquasars are galactic X-ray binary systems exhibiting relativistic jets and are considered in some models to be possible sources of high energy (> 100 GeV) neutrinos. In this analysis, a search for neutrinos in coincidence with X-ray or γ-ray outbursts with 6 microquasars (Circinus X-1, GX 339-4, H 1743-322, IGRJ17091-3624, Cygnus X-1 and Cygnus X-3) was performed on 2007-2010 data [4]. The neutrino search for the four black hole binaries has been split in two kinds: observing the source during the hard X-ray states, and during the transition from hard to soft emission states, both scenarios when the acceleration could be dominated by hadronic acceleration.…”
