AGILE Gamma-ray Sources Coincident with Cosmic Neutrino Events |
|
Abstract |
The origin of cosmic neutrinos is still largely unknown. Using data obtained by the gamma-ray imager on board of the AGILE satellite, we systematically searched for transient gamma-ray sources above 100 MeV that are temporally and spatially coincident with recent high-energy neutrino IceCube events. We find three AGILE candidate sources that can be considered as possible counterparts to neutrino events. The chance probability of this association is shown to be very low. One of the sources detected by AGILE is related to the BL Lac source TXS 0506+056. For the other two gamma-ray sources there are no obvious known counterparts, and both Galactic and extragalactic origin should be considered. |
