Description

The number of potential associations of very-high-energy neutrino alerts with flaring blazars is steadily increasing, leading to an emerging picture that blazars are a likely source of at least some of the IceCube-detected VHE neutrinos. In this talk, I will discuss the general physics requirements for neutrino production in blazar jets as well as recent modeling results of individual candidate neutrino-emitting blazars, beyond the well-known case of TXS 0506+056.
