Search for a neutrino flux from LS I +61 303 based on a time dependent model with IceCube

TL;DR

This paper reports a search for neutrino emissions from the X-ray binary LS I +61 303 using IceCube data, but found no significant signal above background noise.

Contribution

It introduces a time-dependent neutrino flux model applied to IceCube data for LS I +61 303, providing a novel approach to transient source searches.

Findings

Results are compatible with background fluctuations.

No significant neutrino flux detection was made.

The method constrains neutrino emission models for LS I +61 303.

Abstract

We present a search based on a time dependent neutrino flux prediction from the X-ray binary LS I +61 303. Results from data taken with the 22 and 40 strings of IceCube are compatible with background fluctuations.
