The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has found evidence for the first time of high-energy neutrino emission from a nearby galaxy, NGC 1068. Chad Finley, the Oskar Klein Centre’s deputy director, has been heavily involved in IceCube for many years. He gives further details about the importance of the detection in this news article. The results have been published in Science.
IceCube finds evidence for neutrinos from a nearby galaxy
Scientists have for the first time found evidence of high-energy neutrino emission from a nearby galaxy, NGC 1068. The results are a new step in the development of so-called multimessenger astrophysics, the study of the universe using many different types of information carriers, from light, to elementary particles, and gravitational waves.
