Resum
Seyfert galaxies are emerging as a promising source class of high-energy neutrinos. The Seyfert galaxies NGC 4151 and NGC 1068 have respectively come up as the most promising counterparts of a 3σ and of a 4.2σ neutrino excesses detected by IceCube in the TeV energy range. Constraining the very high energy (VHE) emission associated with the neutrino signal is crucial to unveiling the mechanism and site of neutrino production. In this work, we present the first results of the VHE observations (∼29 hours) of NGC 4151 with the MAGIC telescopes. We detected no gamma-ray excess in the direction of NGC 4151, and we derived constraining upper limits on the VHE gamma-ray flux. The integral flux upper limit (at the 95% confidence level) above 200 GeV is f = 2.3 × 10−12 cm−2 s−1. Comparison of the MAGIC and IceCube measurements suggests the presence of a gamma-ray obscured accelerator, and it allowed us to constrain the gamma-ray optical depth and the size of the neutrino production site.
