摘要:

在2011年3月至2014年8月期间,斯威夫特对来自冰立方中微子天文台的20次触发做出了回应,在X射线中观察到了冰立方50%置信度误差圆,通常在触发后5小时内。没有检测到确认的对应物。我们描述了Swift的后续策略和数据分析,并展示了活动的结果。我们讨论的挑战,区分X射线对应的中微子触发器的意外未编目的X射线源的误差圆,并考虑我们的研究结果对未来的多信使天文学的战略的影响,特别是参考后续的引力波触发先进时代的探测器。

英文摘要:

Between 2011 March and 2014 August Swift responded to 20 triggers from the IceCube neutrino observatory, observing the IceCube 50% confidence error circle in X-rays, typically within 5 hours of the trigger. No confirmed counterpart has been detected. We describe the Swift follow up strategy and data analysis and present the results of the campaign. We discuss the challenges of distinguishing the X-ray counterpart to a neutrino trigger from serendipitous uncatalogued X-ray sources in the error circle, and consider the implications of our results for future strategies for multi-messenger astronomy, with particular reference to the follow up of gravitational wave triggers from the advanced-era detectors.
