  "body": "The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports:\n\nIceCube has performed a search for additional track-like muon neutrino events arriving\nfrom the direction of IceCube-200530A (https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn3/27865.gcn3) in a time\nrange of 2 days centered on the alert event time (2020-05-29 07:54:29.43 UTC to 2020-05-31 07:54:29.430 UTC) during which IceCube was collecting good quality data. Excluding the\nevent that prompted the alert, zero additional track-like events are found in spatial coincidence\nwith the 90% containment region of IceCube-200530A. We accordingly derive a time-integrated muon-neutrino flux upper limit at the alert position of E^2 dN/ dE = 4.6 x 10^-5 TeV cm^-2 at 90% CL, under the assumption of an E^-2 power law. 90% of events IceCube would detect from a source at this declination with an E^-2 spectrum are approximately between 1 TeV and 1 PeV.\n\nA subsequent search was performed to include the month of data prior to the alert event (2020-04-30 07:54:29.43 UTC to 2020-05-31 07:54:29.430 UTC). In this case, we report a p-value of 1.0, consistent with no significant excess of track-like events, and a corresponding time-integrated muon-neutrino flux upper limit assuming an E^-2 spectrum (E^2 dN/dE) of\n 1.0 x 10^-4 TeV cm^-2 at the 90% CL.\n\nThe IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica.
