Spatially Coincident Fermi-LAT γ Ray Sources to IceCube νμ Events
نویسنده
چکیده
IceCube has detected several very high energy muon neutrino events, of a several hundred TeV to a few PeV, beginning inside the detector. These events are unlikely to have originated in the atmosphere, and are suspected to come from astrophysical sources, the likes of which can also be observed in gamma rays by the Fermi Space Telescope. In this paper, I explore the gamma-ray sky around 16 of the aforementioned high-energy neutrino events to search for spatially coincident gamma ray point sources.

Radio and Gamma-ray Properties of Extragalactic Jets from the TANAMI Sample
Using high-resolution radio imaging with VLBI techniques, the TANAMI program has been observing the parsec-scale radio jets of southern (declination south of −30◦) γ-ray bright AGN simultaneously with Fermi /LAT monitoring of their γ-ray emission. We present the radio and γ-ray properties of the TANAMI sources based on one year of contemporaneous TANAMI and Fermi /LAT data. A large fraction (72...
متن کاملFermi–LAT OBSERVATIONS OF HIGH-ENERGY γ-RAY EMISSION TOWARD THE GALACTIC CENTRE
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has provided the most detailed view to date of the emission towards the Galactic centre (GC) in high-energy γ-rays. This paper describes the analysis of data taken during the first 62 months of the mission in the energy range 1 − 100 GeV from a 15◦ × 15◦ region about the direction of the GC, and implications for the interstellar emissions produced by cosmic ...
متن کاملSearching for Dark Matter annihilation in recently discovered Milky Way satellites with Fermi-LAT
We search for excess γ-ray emission coincident with the positions of confirmed and candidate Milky Way satellite galaxies using six years of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). Our sample of 45 stellar systems includes 28 kinematically confirmed dark-matter-dominated dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) and 17 recently discovered systems that have photometric characteristics consistent...
متن کاملIdentification of the Early Fermi Lat Gamma-ray Bright Objects with Extragalactic Vlbi Sources
A list of 205 γ-ray strong objects was reported recently as a result of a 3-month integration with the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. We attempted identification of these objects, cross-correlating the γ-ray positions with VLBI positions of a large all-sky sample of extragalactic radio sources selected on the basis of their parsec-scale flux density. The orig...
متن کاملEarly Fermi Gamma-ray Detections of Agn: a Strong Connection with Parsec-scale Vlba Jet Properties
We have compared the radio emission from a sample of parsec-scale AGN jets as measured by the VLBA at 15 GHz, with their associated γ-ray properties that are reported in the Fermi LAT 3-month bright source list. We find in our radio selected sample that the γ-ray photon flux correlates well with the quasi-simultaneously measured compact radio flux density. The LAT-detected jets in our radio-sel...
