Building a Neutrino Candidate Catalog of Seyfert Galaxies from Multi-Wavelength Observational Inputs

Semester: Summer 2025


Presentation description

Seyfert galaxies are promising candidates of high-energy neutrinos. Recent findings from IceCube about more Seyfert galaxies being found as potential neutrino emitters provide new hints to understand the physical processes behind. In this study, we assemble a Seyfert catalog by using multi‑wavelength catalogs: hard X‑ray (Swift-BAT  Hard-X-ray 70 month and 105 month surveys), soft X‑ray (Swift -XRT Point Source), radio (VLASS SE2/QL2), and γ‑ray (Fermi 4FGL). We study the physical properties of known candidate sources, such as NGC 1068, NGC 4151, NGC 3079, and CGCG 420-015, to develop selection criteria based on the values of their multi-wavelength properties, such as, redshift, X-ray luminosity, radio luminosity, and black hole mass etc. With the selection process, we aim to choose Seyfert galaxy candidates with similar characteristics that produce neutrinos which can be detected by the current neutrino telescopes. In future work, we look to study the sources in the catalog using IceCube data and find more neutrino sources.
