AMON + ANTARES Identification of a Low False-Alarm
Rate High-Energy Neutrino + Fermi LAT Coincidence

M. Ageron (CNRS/CPPM) A.Coleiro (Univ. de Paris/APC), D. Dornic
(CNRS/CPPM), A. Kouchner (Univ. de Paris/APC ) (for ANTARES) report:

"During operations of the AMON ANTARES + Fermi LAT neutrino +
gamma-ray multimessenger alerts, at 2020-07-04 at 15:48:46.812 UT, we
identified a low false alarm-rate (0.9764 per year) coincidence
between a single ANTARES neutrino and one Fermi LAT photon. An alert
was automatically generated and, after human review, distributed via
GCN. Alert details are as follows:

    Date:  2020-07-04
    Time:  15:53:48.812 UT
    R.A.:  17:01:41.93 (J2000)
    Dec.: -34:29:16.18 (J2000)
    r_90:  0.433 deg (90%-containment)
    FAR:   0.976 yr-1

ANTARES 200407 is a high-energy neutrino-induced muon event detected
by ANTARES (Ageron et al. 2011) with coordinates R.A. 16:59:20.4,
Dec. -34:30:57.6 (J2000) at 15:43:45 UT.

The minimum false alarm rate coincidence from our analysis associates
this neutrino with 1 Fermi LAT photon. The photon is detected at
15:53:48.624 UT with coordinates R.A. 17:01:52.08, Dec. -34:28:54.5
(J2000) and energy 8.49 GeV. The best-fit localization and uncertainty
for a point source yielding the ANTARES 200407 neutrino and this
photon is as quoted above. The false alarm rate for ANTARES neutrino
+ Fermi LAT gamma-ray coincidences of this quality or better is 1 per
1.02 years.

Details of the ANTARES + Fermi LAT coincidence search procedures are
provided in Ayala Solares et al. (AMON + ANTARES) 2019 (ApJ accepted,
ArXiv:1904.06420). False alarm rates are established from 73,000 years
of simulated observation and take into account the point spread
functions of the associated neutrino + photons, the known backgrounds
at this sky position, the energy of the neutrino, and the energies of
the Fermi LAT photons (within broad ranges).

The AMON alert for this coincidence is provided in GCN Alert format
below."
