TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 26757 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo S200115j: Upper limits from IceCube neutrino searches DATE: 20/01/15 05:28:30 GMT FROM: Raamis Hussain at IceCube IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports: Searches [1,2] for track-like muon neutrino events detected by IceCube consistent with the sky localization of gravitational-wave candidate S200115j in a time range of 1000 seconds [3] centered on the alert event time (2020-01-15 04:14:49.753 UTC to 2020-01-15 04:31:29.753 UTC) have been performed. During this time period IceCube was collecting good quality data. No significant track-like events are found in spatial coincidence of S200115j calculated from the map circulated in the 2-Preliminary notice. IceCube's sensitivity assuming an E^-2 spectrum (E^2 dN/dE) to neutrino point sources within the locations spanned by the 90% spatial containment of S200115j ranges from 0.029 to 0.754 GeV cm^-2 in a 1000 second time window. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica.
