Jim Madsen, interim director of the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and associate director for education and outreach for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, recently announced that he was retiring after 25 years with IceCube and its predecessor AMANDA. His last day in the office [...]
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are leading candidates for the sources of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos—tiny, nearly massless particles—detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. This is demonstrated by the real-time multimessenger detection of the blazar TXS 0506+056 and recent evidence of neutrino emission from NGC 1068 from a [...]
Let the games begin! South Pole’s version of the Olympics—the “Polympics”—has several years under its belt by now. The opening ceremony to kick off this year’s event was held last week with much fanfare. Station participants were grouped into six “countries,” which were introduced with their own custom flags and [...]
