论文摘要

提出了从Blazar TXS 0506+056的方向与Pierre螺旋螺旋观测员一起寻找超高能量中微子的结果。它们是作为随访的一部分而获得的,该后续是源于使用iCecube,\ textit {fermi} -lat,魔术和其他电磁辐射中的其他探测器检测到高能中微子和伽玛射线。皮埃尔螺旋钻天文台对中微子在100 pev至100 eev的范围内对中微子敏感,在天顶角度范围从$θ= 60^\ circ $到$θ= 95^\ circ $,其中Zenith角度是从垂直方向测量的。从TXS 0506+056的方向上没有中微子。在三个阶段分析了结果:一个近6个月的一个周到ICECUBE-170922A,与TXS 0506+056相吻合,这是110天的第二个,在此期间,Icecube协作中的第二个中微子在此期间发现了超过13个中微子,该中微子与TXS 0506+056和2004年1月1日相机的兼容。天文台一直在获取数据。通过考虑在观察期间诱导单个预期事件的通量来解决不同光谱指数的敏感性。对于与由IceCube协作衡量的指数兼容的指数,天文台中的中微子的预期数量很好。在此能量范围内,必须应用于1.5的光谱指数,才能期望检测到单个事件。

Results of a search for ultra-high-energy neutrinos with the Pierre Auger Observatory from the direction of the blazar TXS 0506+056 are presented. They were obtained as part of the follow-up that stemmed from the detection of high-energy neutrinos and gamma rays with IceCube, \textit{Fermi}-LAT, MAGIC, and other detectors of electromagnetic radiation in several bands. The Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to neutrinos in the energy range from 100 PeV to 100 EeV and in the zenith angle range from $θ=60^\circ$ to $θ=95^\circ$, where the zenith angle is measured from the vertical direction. No neutrinos from the direction of TXS 0506+056 have been found. The results were analyzed in three periods: One of 6 months around the detection of IceCube-170922A, coinciding with a flare period of TXS 0506+056, a second one of 110 days during which the IceCube collaboration found an excess of 13 neutrinos from a direction compatible with TXS 0506+056, and a third one from 2004 January 1 up to 2018 August 31, over which the Pierre Auger Observatory has been taking data. The sensitivity of the Observatory is addressed for different spectral indices by considering the fluxes that would induce a single expected event during the observation period. For indices compatible with those measured by the IceCube collaboration the expected number of neutrinos at the Observatory is well-below one. Spectral indices as hard as 1.5 would have to apply in this energy range to expect a single event to have been detected.
