Description

One of IceCube’s major goals is finding the origin of astrophysical high-energy neutrinos. The analysis searching for astrophysical point-like sources of neutrinos in the Northern Sky, using 9 years of events produced by charged-current muon-neutrino interactions, identified the active galaxy NGC1068 as a candidate source of astrophysical neutrinos with a global significance of 4.2 sigma. In this talk I will present the extension of the previous analysis using 13 years of data.
