Description
We present the results of an archival coincidence analysis between
public gamma-ray data from the Fermi LAT satellite and public
neutrino data from the IceCube neutrino observatory during its
40-string and 59-string observing runs. The analysis has the
potential to detect either a statistical excess of correlated
neutrino + gamma-emitting sources or alternatively, one or more
rare, high-multiplicity events such as gamma-ray burst + neutrino
coincidences. This work is an example of the multimessenger studies
currently being performed by the Astrophysical Multimessenger
Observatory Network (AMON). We will present the relevant datasets,
the statistical approach, and the results of the analysis.
