Enhanced Starting Track Realtime Stream for IceCube

IceCube Realtime Alerts allow for a quick follow-up to likely astrophysical neutrino events by searching for multi-messenger counterparts. The Enhanced Starting Track Realtime Stream (ESTReS) is a realtime extension of the Enhanced Starting Track Event Selection (ESTES), a high astrophysical purity muon-neutrino sample recently used by IceCube to measure the astrophysical diffuse flux. A set of computationally cheap cuts allows us to run a fast filter in seconds. This online filter passes about 100 events per day which are sent to Madison, WI via satellite where the full ESTES event selection is applied within minutes. Events that pass the final set of cuts (ESTReS + ESTES) will be sent out as realtime alerts to the broader astrophysical community. ESTReS's unique contribution to the current realtime alerts will be events in the southern sky in the 5 TeV - 100 TeV range. We expect 4 events per year. In this talk I will report the status of the ESTReS alert stream in the context of IceCube realtime program.
