Description
The detection of the extraterrestrial neutrino signal at PeV energies
by IceCube prompted the question of astrophysical origin. We study the
broadband spectral energy distribution of gamma-ray loud blazars in positional agreement with the PeV neutrinos "Ernie, Bert and Big Bird", using broadband data collected in the framework of the multiwavelength
monitoring program TANAMI. Assuming a simple photo pion production
emission model, we show that the gamma-ray emission of the blazars can explain the observed PeV neutrino events.
