Individual astrophysical sources previously detected in neutrinos are limited to the Sun and the supernova 1987A, whereas the origins of the diffuse flux of high-energy cosmic neutrinos remain unidentified. On 22 September 2017 we detected a high-energy neutrino, IceCube-170922A, with an energy of approximately 290 TeV. Its arrival direction was consistent with the location of a known gamma-ray blazar TXS 0506+056, observed to be in a flaring state. An extensive multi-wavelength campaign followed, ranging from radio frequencies to gamma-rays. These observations characterize the variability and energetics of the blazar and include the first detection of TXS 0506+056 in very-high-energy gamma-rays. This observation of a neutrino in spatial coincidence with a gamma-ray emitting blazar during an active phase suggests that blazars may be a source of high-energy neutrinos.

    Time-dependent leptohadronic fits show hadronic secondary emission can explain Mrk 421's 2013 hard X-ray excess at sub-Eddington jet power, but cannot explain the 2016 excess without super-Eddington power or the 2017 ...

  6. Neutrino-Induced Polarization Rotation in Active Galactic Nuclei Plasmas

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Neutrino-induced polarization rotation in AGN plasmas is computed and found to produce a frequency scaling distinct from Faraday rotation, but with angles far below current polarimetric sensitivity.

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A cosmic-ray boosted, inelastic dark matter flux from two neutrino-emitting AGNs gives new Super-K and XENONnT limits that reach part of the thermal freeze-out target for sub-GeV dark matter.
