Erin O’Sullivan elected IceCube’s next spokesperson
Observing tau neutrino candidates, producing the first image of our galaxy using a neutrino lens, pinpointing an active galaxy as a neutrino source—these are just a few of IceCube’s exciting results Georgia Institute of Technology professor Ignacio Taboada has witnessed during his four years as IceCube spokesperson. Fast forward to [...]
Probing the high-energy region using muon neutrinos from the southern sky
Neutrinos are weakly interacting particles that are able to travel unhindered through the cosmos. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, embedded in a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice, searches for neutrinos and captures them at different energies. By measuring the entire spectrum of astrophysical neutrinos, scientists can gain insights into the origin [...]
Week 15 at the Pole
Last week had a mix of quiet days and less quiet days at the Pole. There was a monthly emergency response team drill as well as various IceCube detector tasks. IceCube winterover Ilya also trekked out to the South Pole Telescope, where he captured the above photo, which shows a [...]
