PKS 2254+074: A Blazar in Likely Association with the Neutrino Event IceCube-190619A.

JI S. and WANG Z.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report our study of the field of the ≃0.2 PeV neutrino event IC-190619A. This neutrino belongs to Gold events, which more likely have an astrophysical origin. Among the two γ-ray sources within the neutrino's positional uncertainty region, we find that one of them, the BL Lac-type blazar PKS 2254+074, had a γ-ray flare at the arrival time of the neutrino. The flare is determined to have lasted ∼2.5 yr in a 180 day binned light curve, constructed from the data collected with the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Accompanying the flare, optical and mid-infrared brightening is also seen. In addition, ≥10 GeV high-energy photons from the source have been detected, suggesting a hardening of the emission during the flare. Given both the positional and temporal coincidence of PKS 2254+074 with IC-190619A, we suggest that this blazar is likely another member of a few recently identified (candidate) neutrino-emitting blazars.
