Upper limit on the coronal cosmic ray energy budget in Seyfert galaxies
The IceCube Collaboration has reported possible detections of high-energy neutrinos from nearby Seyfert galaxies. While central hot coronae are proposed as the primary neutrino production site, the exact coronal cosmic ray energy budget has been loosely constrained. In this study, we propose a new stringent upper bound on the coronal cosmic ray energy budget of Seyfert galaxies, considering both accretion dynamics and observed properties of radio-quiet Seyfert galaxies. Notably, even under the calorimetric condition where cosmic rays lose all their energy, our limit indicates that the coronal neutrino flux of NGC 1068 is about an order of magnitude fainter than the observed levels. This discrepancy suggests the need for further theoretical and observational investigations on the IceCube signals from Seyfert galaxies.
