A pure hadronic model description of the observed neutrino emission from the tidal disruption event AT2019dsg

Abstract

Recently, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has detected the neutrino event IceCube-170922A from the radio-emitting tidal disruption event (TDE) named AT2019dsg, indicating to be one of the most likely sources of high-energy cosmic rays. So far, the photo-hadronic interaction is considered in the literature to interpret neutrino emission from AT2019dsg. Here, we examine whether the IceCube-170922A along with the broadband electromagnetic emission from the source can also be described by a pure hadronic emission employing the proton blazar inspired (PBI) model, which takes into account the non-relativistic protons that emerge under the charge neutrality situation of the blazar jet and thus offers sufficient target matter for pp interactions with shock-accelerated protons. Our findings show that the PBI model is able to consistently describe the IceCube observations on AT2019dsg and the broadband spectrum of the source without exceeding the observed X-ray and gamma-ray flux upper limits imposed by the XMM-Newton and Fermi-LAT telescopes.
