Congratulations to Azadeh Keivani and the AMON team for a successful Swift Cycle 12 guest investigator proposal! The proposal, “Seeking the sources of the highest-energy IceCube neutrinos with Swift,” provides Keivani and her co-investigators access to Swift observing time. Each time IceCube detects a track-like High-Energy Starting Event, which has a high probability of having […]

First AMON alerts broadcast in real-time!
As of May 27th, when AMON sent the first real-time alert to the Gamma-ray Coordinates Network (GCN), the AMON real-time phase has officially begun! Currently, every time the IceCube neutrino detector detects two or more neutrinos within a 100 second time window, with arrival directions separated by 3 degrees or less, an AMON alert is […]
First signal in realtime
AMON received the first signal in realtime from IceCube neutrino observatory on February 25th, the same day that IceCube sent the events out from the south pole to the North in realtime for the first time. These events are blinded (time scrambled) single muon neutrinos arriving at frequency of about 3 mHz (approximately one event […]
