Swift follow-up of IceCube triggers, and implications for the Advanced-LIGO era
Swift follow-up of IceCube triggers, and implications for the Advanced-LIGO era
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 …
