report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:
Insight-HXMT was taking data normally around the trigger time
(T0=2020-01-17T11:08:29.69 UTC) of this high-energy neutrino event
(GCN #26802), which was monitored without any occultation by
the Earth.
Within T0 +/- 100 s, no significant excess events (SNR > 3 sigma)
are found in a search of the Insight-HXMT/HE raw light curves.
Assuming the counterpart GRB with three typical GRB Band spectral
models, two typical duration timescales(1 s, 10 s) coming from the position
of this neutrino event, the 5-sigma upper-limits fluence
(0.2 - 5 MeV, incident energy) are reported below:
Band model 1 (alpha=-1.9, beta=-3.7, Ep=70 keV):
1s: 6.7e-08 erg cm^-2
10s: 5.3e-07 erg cm^-2
Band model 2 (alpha=-1.0, beta=-2.3, Ep=230 keV):
1s: 1.0e-07 erg cm^-2
10s: 9.3e-07 erg cm^-2
Band model 3 (alpha=-0.0, beta=-1.5, Ep=1000 keV):
1s: 3.7e-07 erg cm^-2
10s: 3.1e-06 erg cm^-2
Further analysis will be reported in the following circulars.
All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the
regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (record energy).
Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate
the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside
of the telescope.
Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was
fundedjointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and
the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
