The discovery of a source of neutrinos and electromagnetic emissions in a blazar represents a new success for multimessenger astronomy
Various articles published in different journals shows various aspects of a research that allowed to associate a neutrino detected by the IceCube instrument at the South Pole to the blazar known as TXS 0506+056. In an article published in February 2018 in “The Astrophysical Journal Letters” a team led by Simona Paiano of the INAF of Padua showed that connection. In two articles just published in the journal “Science”, groups of scientists from 18 different observatories describe what was defined multimessenger observations of neutrino and electromagnetic emissions and a second analysis showing that other neutrinos detected by IceCube came from the same source.
