NGC 1068, a nearby type-2 Seyfert galaxy, is reported as the hottest neutrino spot in the 10-year survey data of IceCube. Although there are several different possibilities for the generation of high-energy neutrinos in astrophysical sources, feasible scenarios allowing such emission in NGC 1068 have not yet been firmly defined. We show that the flux level of GeV and neutrino emission observed from NGC 1068 implies that the neutrino emission can be produced only in the vicinity of the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy. The coronal parameters, such as magnetic field strength and corona size, making this emission possible are consistent with the spectral excess registered in the millimeter range. The suggested model and relevant physical parameters are similar to those revealed for several nearby Seyferts. Due to the internal gamma-ray attenuation, the suggested scenario cannot be verified by observations of NGC 1068 in the GeV and TeV gamma-ray energy bands. However, the optical depth is expected to become negligible for MeV gamma rays, thus future observations in this band will be able to prove our model.

  1. Astrophysical Neutrino Sources as Colliders

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Neutrino point-source observations (IceCube, KM3NeT) can bound inelastic pp and pγ cross sections from √s ≈ 1 GeV to ~10^5 GeV, extending beyond LHC/HERA and sometimes below unitarity limits.

  2. Flavorful Interactions of AGN Neutrinos with Dark Matter Spike

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    IceCube-Gen2 flavor ratios can discriminate a U(1) neutrino–dark-matter model in AGN spikes from the standard (1/3:1/3:1/3) and muon-damped predictions, and, combined with mass-ordering and tau-decay data, constrain t...

  3. Revisiting bounds on neutrino dark matter interaction at spikes

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For light vector mediators, neutrino energy loss in dark-matter spikes is negligible, so cascade attenuation is suppressed by a small factor f and prior cross-section bounds are relaxed by 1/f.

  4. Exploring the properties of newborn pulsars with high-energy neutrinos

    astro-ph.HE 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Neutrinos from newborn pulsar winds hitting supernova ejecta could be detected from a galactic source by IceCube if B/P^2 exceeds ~0.003, with parameter constraints and a detectable diffuse flux for next-generation te...

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Neutrinos from active galaxies are produced in compact X-ray-bright coronae within about ten Schwarzschild radii of the black hole, and such sources may supply the diffuse neutrino flux.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.5 of 10

    Review summarizing correlations between astrophysical neutrinos and gamma-ray/radio AGN, specific source associations, proposed production mechanisms, and future prospects.
