The
results
of an updated search for cosmic neutrino sources using six years of
data collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope has been recently
published. The most signal-like accumulation of events is
located at equatorial coordinates RA=-46.8°
and Dec=-64.9° and corresponds to a 2.2σ background fluctuation. In
addition, upper limits on the flux normalization of an E
-2 muon
neutrino energy spectrum have been set for 50 pre-selected astrophysical
objects.
Finally, motivated by an accumulation of
7 events relatively close to the Galactic Centre in the
recently
reported neutrino sample of the IceCube telescope, a search for
point sources in a broad region around this accumulation has been carried
out. A point source close to the Galactic Centre has been recently
proposed to explain this accumulation of events (see
this
publication) ; the absence of a significant neutrino signal detected
by ANTARES in these directions has allowed us to exclude a single point
source (width = 0°) as being the emitter of these events. Constraints on
extended sources have also been set.
