Search for high energy neutrinos in LVK run O4 in realtime with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory
ORAL
Abstract
The fourth observing run (O4) of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) ground-based gravitational wave detectors is currently underway. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory followed up every candidate event released by LVK in the previous observing run, O3, and this search has been extended to O4. In the case a neutrino track-like event is found to be in spatial and temporal coincidence with the gravitational wave sky map, the hundreds of times smaller localization area of the IceCube event can inform follow-up by other observatories in real time. In this talk, we give an overview of the improvements to the low-latency pipeline operations thus far in O4, including an automated GCN Notice stream that has been developed to send results, and present scientific results for this search to-date.
