Drilling for hole 87, the first hole of the IceCube Upgrade, has officially started! 🎉
Thank you to the team down at the South Pole for all of your hard work. Stay tuned for more updates!

Additional candidate sources among Seyfert galaxies, reinforcing the idea that gamma-ray obscured sources are the primary contributors to the high-energy neutrino flux
🔔📜 Two IceCube papers submitted to ApJ!
We searched for neutrino emission from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) bright in X-rays. Both results support the idea that AGNs are promising high-energy neutrino emitters.

🔔📜 IceCube paper published in @NaturePhysics!
We tested for neutrino decoherence as a result of small fluctuations in spacetime caused by quantum gravity. We set the world's strongest constraints on neutrino-quantum gravity interactions.

The spring Russell Frank Astronomy Lecture will be February 29th at 7:30 in the Bigelow Physics Building (Room 102). Come learn about fast radio bursts with Duncan Lorimer from West Virginia University!
🔔📜 IceCube paper submitted to ApJ!
We present the first neutrino search from gamma-ray bursts using low-energy neutrinos. The searches looked at a gamma-ray burst catalog and also at GRB 221009A. No evidence of neutrino emission was found.

🔔📜 IceCube paper submitted to ApJ!
We searched for extended neutrino sources in the Milky Way along with the highest energy gamma-ray sources. Although not a source, the most significant location coincided with 3HWC J1951+266.

🔔📜 IceCube paper submitted to ApJS!
We present ICECAT-1, our first event catalog of neutrino “track” events consisting of neutrino events of likely astrophysical origin from 2011 to 2020.

🔔📜 IceCube paper submitted to PRD!
For the first time, we did a spectral search of monochromatic neutrino lines from dark matter annihilation and decay. No signal was found, but new upper limits were set.
