Description

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is uniquely sensitive to the MeV neutrinos emitted during a core-collapse supernova, with potential applications beyond supernovae. This talk will describe an analysis stream that can be used to respond to external alerts, such as those originating from the Ligo-Virgo-Kagra detector for gravitational waves. Additionally, we will demonstrate the versatility of this low-energy data stream by discussing the search of MeV neutrinos coincident with GRB 221009A, where neutrino emission can occur through a variety of mechanisms, such as core-collapse supernovae or neutrino-dominated accretion flows.
