Prospects of Establishing the Origin of Cosmic Neutrinos using Source Catalogs

Understand

The cosmic neutrino flux recently discovered by IceCube will be instrumental in probing the highest-energy astrophysical processes.

• Nevertheless, the origin of these neutrinos is still unknown.
• While it would be more straightforward to identify a transient, or galactic source class, finding a population of distant, continuous sources is challenging.
• We introduce a source-type classification technique that incorporates all available information from catalogs of source candidates.
