IceCube Follow-up of SN2023ixf

Core-collapse supernovae are of particular interest in multi-messenger astronomy due to their potential to accelerate cosmic rays and produce high energy neutrinos. One such supernova of interest is the recent SN2023ixf located in M101 (the Pinwheel Galaxy). It is the closest (d = 6.4 Mpc) and brightest in nearly a decade. This specific supernova is believed to have had a progenitor surrounded by dense circumstellar material (CSM), which during the supernova could produce neutrinos when ejecta collides with the material. I will discuss a follow-up using data collected from the IceCube Observatory located at the South Pole spanning GeV-PeV energies to search for neutrinos coincident with this supernova.
