The search for gamma-ray counterparts of IceCube neutrino events is relevant for understanding the role of blazars as possible sources of cosmic neutrinos. We searched for the counterparts of the IceCube neutrinos events observed in the period 2018-2020 in the AGILE gamma-ray satellite public archive. We present the AGILE candidate gamma-ray counterparts found within the IceCube 90% location regions centered on the best-fit neutrino candidate position. We show a selection of light curves and spectral energy distributions, and provide estimates of the gamma-ray flux above 100 MeV for the AGILE candidate detections. The possible associations with blazars are discussed.

Abstract
The search for gamma-ray counterparts of IceCube neutrino events is relevant for understanding the role of blazars as possible sources of cosmic neutrinos. We searched for the counterparts of the IceCube neutrinos events observed in the period 2018-2020 in the AGILE gamma-ray satellite public archive. We present the AGILE candidate gamma-ray counterparts found within the IceCube 90% location regions centered on the best-fit neutrino candidate position. We show a selection of light curves and spectral energy distributions, and provide estimates of the gamma-ray flux above 100 MeV for the AGILE candidate detections. The possible associations with blazars are discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
