Real-time follow-up of multimessenger alerts at the Baikal-GVD telescope

Abstract The Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope, located in Lake Baikal, Russia, is designed to detect high-energy neutrinos and perform real-time searches for astrophysical sources associated with multimessenger signals, such as gamma-ray bursts, gravitational waves, and neutrino alerts. Since 2021, the implementation of an automated system has reduced analysis delays to 3-10 minutes, enabling efficient classification of events into upward-going tracks (muon neutrinos) and high-energy cascades (all-flavor neutrinos). The telescope’s external alert follow-up system employs InfluxDB for time-series data management and Grafana for online data visualization and correlation analysis. Using ON/OFF algorithms and techniques for identifying spatial-temporal coincidences, the real-time system detects potential signals and evaluates their significance using the maximum likelihood method. In cases where no significant signal is detected, upper limits on neutrino fluxes are calculated.

Abstract The Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope, located in Lake Baikal, Russia, is designed to detect high-energy neutrinos and perform real-time searches for astrophysical sources associated with multimessenger signals, such as gamma-ray bursts, gravitational waves, and neutrino alerts. Since 2021, the implementation of an automated system has reduced analysis delays to 3-10 minutes, enabling efficient classification of events into upward-going tracks (muon neutrinos) and high-energy cascades (all-flavor neutrinos). The telescope’s external alert follow-up system employs InfluxDB for time-series data management and Grafana for online data visualization and correlation analysis. Using ON/OFF algorithms and techniques for identifying spatial-temporal coincidences, the real-time system detects potential signals and evaluates their significance using the maximum likelihood method. In cases where no significant signal is detected, upper limits on neutrino fluxes are calculated.
