Description

IceCube Neutrino Observatory has recently detected over 30 very high-energy neutrino events which are most likely of cosmic origin. Due to poor angular resolution of cascade-type events, which dominate the event list, identification of astrophysical source(s) as origin of these neutrino events is proving to be difficult. I will present a scenario where the detected cosmic neutrinos originate from Galactic and extragalactic sources.
