High-Energy Gamma-Ray Follow-Up Program Using Neutrino Triggers from IceCube — •Robert Franke1, Elisa Bernardini1, Dariusz Gora2,3, and Angel Humberto Cruz-Silva1 for the IceCube collaboration — 1DEZY, Zeuthen, D-15738, Germany — 2Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics, Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat Erlangen-Nurnberg, D-91058 Erlangen, Germany — 3Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN, Radzikowskiego 152, Cracow, Poland

We present the status of a neutrino-triggered program that generates real-time alerts from IceCube to initiate gamma-ray follow up observations by Air Shower Cherenkov telescopes (MAGIC and VERITAS). While IceCube is capable of monitoring the whole sky continuously, high energy gamma-ray telescopes have restricted fields of view and operation times and in general may not be likely to be observing a potential neutrino-flaring source when interesting neutrino events are recorded. Neutrino-triggered alerts thus aims as increasing the availability of simultaneous multi-messenger data, which can increase the discovery potential as well as constrain the phenomenological interpretation of the high energy emission of selected source classes (e.g. blazars). The requirements of a fast and stable online analysis of potential neutrino signals and its operation will be discussed, and first results of its performance shown.
