IceCube Data for Neutrino Point-Source Searches Years 2008-2018

Understand

IceCube has performed several all-sky searches for point-like neutrino sources using track-like events, including a recent time-integrated analysis using 10 years of IceCube data.

• This paper accompanies the public data release of these neutrino candidates detected by IceCube between April 6, 2008 and July 8, 2018.
• The selection includes through-going tracks, primarily due to muon neutrino candidates, that reach the detector from all directions, as well as neutrino track events that start within the instrumented volume.
• An updated selection and reconstruction for data taken after April 2012 slightly improves the sensitivity of the sample.
