In a paper recently submitted to The Astrophysical Journal, the IceCube Collaboration outlines an analysis that searched for neutrino emission from 35 pulsar wind nebulae in 9.5 years of IceCube data. They did not find any significant correlation, so the researchers set upper limits on total neutrino emission from these objects. […]
Our number one priority has always been the health and safety of the people that make up IceCube. We are following the precautions outlined by our local, state, and national authorities. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole is fully operational. […]
It finally happened—the lowering sun disappeared below the horizon at the South Pole, leaving everything in dusk. […]
Tap into your creativity and try your hand at one of our IceCube-themed coloring sheets. Perfect for calming your mind or unleashing your artistic side. […]
So, is it a watercolor or a photograph? Well, it is a photograph, but the hazy bands of color in the sky make it definitely reminiscent of a watercolor. […]
Dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries in science today, and neutrinos might be able to help. IceCube and ANTARES Collaborations recently probed a known dark matter hotspot—the center of the Milky Way—by combining data from their respective neutrino telescopes. They did not find any unusual excesses of neutrinos, but they put stronger constraints on the dark matter annihilation cross section averaged over the dark matter velocity. The results of the analysis are outlined in a paper submitted recently to Physical Review D. […]
With temperatures around –50 °C (–58 °F) and winds at 15 knots (over 17 mph), there’s no getting around the frosty face look when you’re out walking around at the South Pole. […]
This summer season, IceCube sent more than 30 people from 12 institutions to the Pole to work on a variety of tasks to maintain and upgrade the observatory. Despite a number of delays, the IceCube team got a lot done in a short amount of time. […]
After the South Pole station closes for the winter, the remaining winter crew has a few short weeks to take care of any outdoor business before the sun sets and leaves them in darkness for months. […]
A few aircraft stopped at the South Pole last week for refueling. The plane here is a Basler BT-67, flying for the Australian Antarctic Program. […]
