Abstract (from CDS):

Recent observations are shedding light on the important role that active galactic nuclei play in the production of high-energy neutrinos. In this study, we focus on one object, 5BZB J0630-2406, which is among the blazars recently proposed as associated with neutrino emission during the first 7 yr of IceCube observations. Modeling the quasi-simultaneous, broadband spectral energy distribution, we explore various scenarios from purely leptonic to leptohadronic models, testing the inclusion of external photon fields. This theoretical study provides a complementary testing ground for the proposed neutrino-blazar association. Despite being historically classified as a BL Lac, our study shows that 5BZB J0630-2406 belongs to the relatively rare subclass of high-power flat-spectrum radio quasars. Our results indicate that interactions between protons and external radiation fields can produce a neutrino flux that is within the reach of the IceCube detector. Furthermore, the spectral shape of the X-ray emission suggests the imprint of hadronic processes related to very energetic protons.
