The IceCube collaboration recently reported 4.2σ evidence for high-energy neutrino emission from the direction of the active galaxy NGC 1068. This well-studied AGN optically classified as a Seyfert 2 is hosted by a nearby starburst galaxy and is also characterised by a powerful outflow. With this topical workshop, we would like to learn where we stand in understanding the nature(s) of NGC 1068 and specifically the origin of its neutrino emission from the observational and phenomenological perspectives. Possible cosmic ray production scenarios, and the constraints posed by neutrinos, will be discussed.
During the workshop, we hope to identify the most significant open questions and initiate useful collaborations to start paving the way towards understanding NGC 1068 and similar objects.
The venue
The workshop will be on campus in Garching, at the MIAPbP building (Boltzmannstraße 2, 85748 Garching bei München).
Directions from Munich Airport:
Take the S1 train and change in "Neufahrn". From there take bus no. 690 to Garching Campus (Garching Forschungszentrum). Exit at the terminal station and walk to the IPP gate (see map).
Direction from Munich city center:
Take the subway line U6 to Garching Forschungszentrum. Exit the underground station following the signs to IPP/ORIGINS Cluster. Turn to the left on top of the stairs exiting the station. You are now in front of the IPP gate.
Once you are at the IPP gate, you can tell the guard that you're heading to the MIAPbP building for the workshop. From there, keep the left of the central green, cross the bridge with blue handrails, and turn to the left. Follow the street until you reach the entrance of the MIAPbP building on the right.
You can check how to reach the building from the subway station Garching Forschungszentrum in the map below (red path):
