An all-sky high-energy neutrino follow-up search has been made using data from the Antares neutrino telescope, including both upgoing and downgoing events in two separate analyses. No neutrino candidates were found within ±500 s around the GW event time nor any time clustering of events over an extended time window of ±3 months. The non-detection is used to constrain isotropic-equivalent high-energy neutrino emission from GW170104 to less than ∼ 1.2 × \(10^{55}\) erg for a \(E^{-2}\) spectrum. This constraint is valid in the energy range corresponding to the 5-95\% quantiles of the neutrino flux [3.2 TeV; 3.6 PeV], if the GW emitter was below the Antares horizon at the alert time.}, language = {en} } @article{AdrianMartinezAlbertAndreetal.2016, author = {Adri{\´a}n-Mart{\´i}nez, S. and Albert, A. and Andr{\´e}, M. and Anghinolfi, M. and Anton, G. and Ardid, M. and Aubert, J.-J. and Avgitas, T. and Baret, B. and Barrios-Mart{\´i}, J. and Basa, S. and Bertin, V. and Biagi, S. and Bormuth, R. and Bouwhuis, M.C. and Bruijn, R. and Brunner, J. and Busto, J. and Capone, A. and Caramete, L. and Carr, J. and Celli, S. and Chiarusi, T. and Circella, M. and Coleiro, A. and Coniglione, R. and Constantini, H. and Coyle, P. and Creusot, A. and Deschamps, A. and De Bonis, G. and Distefano, C. and Donzaud, C. and Dornic, D. and Drouhin, D. and Eberl, T. and El Bojaddaini, I. and Els{\"a}sser, D. and Enzenh{\"o}fer, A. and Fehn, K. and Felis, I. and Fusco, L.A. and Galat{\`a}, S. and Gay, P. and Geißels{\"o}der, S. and Geyer, K. and Giordano, V. and Gleixner, A. and Glotin, H. and Gracia-Ruiz, R. and Graf, K. and Hallmann, S. and van Haren, H. and Heijboer, A.J. and Hello, Y. and Hern{\´a}ndez-Rey, J.J. and H{\"o}ßl, J. and Hofest{\"a}dt, J. and Hugon, C. and Illuminati, G. and James, C.W. and de Jong, M. and Kadler, M. and Kalekin, O. and Katz, U. and Kießling, D. and Kouchner, A. and Kreter, M. and Kreykenbohm, I. and Kulikovskiy, V. and Lachaud, C. and Lahmann, R. and Lef{\`e}vre, D. and Leonora, E. and Loucatos, S. and Marcelin, M. and Margiotta, A. and Marinelli, A. and Mart{\´i}nez-Mora, J.A. and Mathieu, A. and Michael, T. and Migliozzi, P. and Moussa, A. and Mueller, C. and Nezri, E. and Pavalas, G.E. and Pellegrino, C. and Perrina, C. and Piattelli, P. and Popa, V. and Pradier, T. and Racca, C. and Riccobene, G. and Roensch, K. and Salda{\~n}a, M. and Samtleben, D.F.E. and S{\´a}nchez-Losa, A. and Sanguineti, M. and Sapienza, P. and Schnabel, J. and Sch{\"u}ssler, F. and Seitz, T. and Sieger, C. and Spurio, M. and Stolarczyk, Th. and Taiuti, M. and Trovato, A. and Tselengidou, M. and Turpin, D. and T{\"o}nnis, C. and Vallage, B. and Vall{\´e}e, C. and Van Elewyck, V. and Visser, E. and Vivolo, D. and Wagner, S. and Wilms, J. and Zornoza, J.D. and Z{\´u}{\~n}iga, J.}, title = {Constraints on the neutrino emission from the Galactic Ridge with the ANTARES telescope}, series = {Physics Letters B}, volume = {760}, journal = {Physics Letters B}, doi = {10.1016/j.physletb.2016.06.051}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-166608}, pages = {143-148}, year = {2016}, abstract = {A highly significant excess of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos has been reported by the IceCube Collaboration. Some features of the energy and declination distributions of IceCube events hint at a North/South asymmetry of the neutrino flux. This could be due to the presence of the bulk of our Galaxy in the Southern hemisphere. The ANTARES neutrino telescope, located in the Mediterranean Sea, has been taking data since 2007. It offers the best sensitivity to muon neutrinos produced by galactic cosmic ray interactions in this region of the sky. In this letter a search for an extended neutrino flux from the Galactic Ridge region is presented. Different models of neutrino production by cosmic ray propagation are tested. No excess of events is observed and upper limits for different neutrino flux spectral indices Γ are set. For Γ=2.4 the 90\% confidence level flux upper limit at 100 TeV for one neutrino flavour corresponds to Φ\(^{1f}_{0}\) (100 TeV) = 2.0 · 10\(^{-17}\) GeV\(^{-1}\) cm\(^{-2}\)s\(^{-1}\)sr\(^{-1}\). Under this assumption, at most two events of the IceCube cosmic candidates can originate from the Galactic Ridge. A simple power-law extrapolation of the Fermi-LAT flux to account for IceCube High Energy Starting Events is excluded at 90\% confidence level.}, language = {en} }
