Cosmic Neutrinos and the Cosmic-Ray Accelerator TXS 0506+056

Abstract: IceCube discovered a flux of cosmic neutrinos originating in extragalactic sources with an energy density close to that in gamma rays and cosmic rays. A multimessenger campaign triggered by the coincident observation of a gamma-ray flare and a 290-TeV IceCube neutrino pinpointed the cosmic-ray accelerator TXS 0506+056. Subsequently, the IceCube archival data revealed a 3-month burst of 13 cosmic neutrinos in 2014-15 that dominates the neutrino flux of the source over the 9.5 years of observations. The original… Show more

“…Concering the question on how many of these sources really are neutrino emitters, [42] summarizes that only a fraction of the population of known GeV gamma-ray blazars is sufficient to explain the neutrino background. If every source would be as strong as TXS, about 5% of the sources would be enough.…”
