Description

IceCube has recently reported the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin, opening up the PeV sky. These observations are challenging to interpret on the astronomical side and have triggered a fruitful collaboration across particle and astro-physics. I will present our work on blazars as possible neutrino sources, discuss briefly the association of some very high-energy IceCube neutrinos with the blazar TXS 0506+056, and show that TXS 0506+056 is not what it looks like.
