In a joint analysis with the HAWC Collaboration, we investigated the Galactic Center and searched for coincident neutrino emission. We found no significant signal and set a new constraint on neutrino emission.

We searched for high-energy neutrinos in the direction of KM3NeT’s ultra-high-energy event. No evidence for neutrino emission was found in IceCube for any of the studies performed and upper limits were set.

We looked for sources that emit lower-energy neutrinos using data taken from IceCube DeepCore. No evidence for neutrino emission was found and upper limits were set on the amount of emission from all of the sources.

A building with glowing orange lights sits atop a snow-covered landscape with the faint, blue glow of sunrise behind it, while the edges of the image remain dark. A building from the side sits amid the polar landscape, with the faint blue glow of sunrise lighting the sky in the distance. Smoke billows from a building covered in darkness, while behind it, a pale blue sunrise creates a sharp distinction between building and sky.
