Abstract We propose prompt searches for X-ray and optical counterparts to IceCube high-energy astrophysical neutrinos with INTEGRAL. The astrophysical flux of high-energy neutrinos discovered by IceCube (Aarsten et al. 2013, Science 22, 342) is expected to help us reveal the elusive sources of cosmic rays. While no neutrino point-sources have been detected so far, a significant increase in the sensitivity of this study can be obtained by performing electromagnetic (EM) observations of IceCube neutrino positions to search for transient emitters. The IceCube observatory has implemented a system of realtime alerts that will broadcast the positions of candidate astrophysical neutrinos to the community. We will use these public alerts to trigger target-of-opportunity (ToO) observations with the INTEGRAL satellite.

Mission Description The INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) mission, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on October 17, 2002, was designed to study high-energy phenomena in the universe. INTEGRAL was operating until february 2025 and it was equipped with three high-energy instruments: the Imager on Board the INTEGRAL Satellite (IBIS), the Spectrometer on INTEGRAL (SPI), and the JEM-X (Joint European Monitor for X-rays). Its Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) provided optical V-band magnitude measurements, complementing the high-energy observations.
