Abstract
We search for a spatial coincidence between high energy neutrinos detected by the IceCube neutrino detector and ten red dwarfs which have been observed in gamma-rays. For our analysis, we use the unbinned maximum likelihood method to look for a statistically significant excess. We do not find any such spatial association between any of the red dwarfs and IceCube-detected neutrinos. Therefore, we conclude that none of the gamma-ray bright red dwarfs contribute to the diffuse neutrino flux measured by IceCube.
期刊介绍:
The journal welcomes manuscripts on theoretical models, simulations, and observations of highly energetic astrophysical objects both in our Galaxy and beyond. Among those, black holes at all scales, neutron stars, pulsars and their nebula, binaries, novae and supernovae, their remnants, active galaxies, and clusters are just a few examples. The journal will consider research across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, as well as research using various messengers, such as gravitational waves or neutrinos. Effects of high-energy phenomena on cosmology and star-formation, results from dedicated surveys expanding the knowledge of extreme environments, and astrophysical implications of dark matter are also welcomed topics.
