NGC 1068, a nearby type-2 Seyfert galaxy, is reported as the hottest neutrino spot in the 10-year survey data of IceCube. Although there are several different possibilities for the generation of high-energy neutrinos in astrophysical sources, feasible scenarios allowing such emission in NGC 1068 have not yet been firmly defined. We show that the flux level of GeV and neutrino emission observed from NGC 1068 implies that the neutrino emission can be produced only in the vicinity of the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy. The coronal parameters, such as magnetic field strength and corona size, making this emission possible are consistent with the spectral excess registered in the millimeter range. The suggested model and relevant physical parameters are similar to those revealed for several nearby Seyferts. Due to the internal gamma-ray attenuation, the suggested scenario cannot be verified by observations of NGC 1068 in the GeV and TeV gamma-ray energy bands. However, the optical depth is expected to become negligible for MeV gamma rays, thus future observations in this band will be able to prove our model.

  1. On the Apparent Correlation between X-ray and Neutrino Luminosities of Active Galactic Nuclei

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 accept novelty 7.0

    The apparent L_nu -- L_X correlation in AGN is an artifact of TS-based selection restricting neutrino flux to a narrow range while distances span four orders of magnitude, making luminosity dominated by the distance term.

  2. Flavorful Interactions of AGN Neutrinos with Dark Matter Spike

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    IceCube-Gen2 flavor ratios can discriminate a U(1) neutrino–dark-matter model in AGN spikes from the standard (1/3:1/3:1/3) and muon-damped predictions, and, combined with mass-ordering and tau-decay data, constrain t...

  3. Revisiting bounds on neutrino dark matter interaction at spikes

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    For light vector mediators, neutrino energy loss in dark-matter spikes is negligible, so cascade attenuation is suppressed by a small factor f and prior cross-section bounds are relaxed by 1/f.

  4. Particle Acceleration, Coronal Neutrino Production, and the Diffuse Extragalactic Neutrino Background from Supermassive Black Holes

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The cosmologically integrated neutrino emission from supermassive black hole coronae in Seyfert galaxies can account for the sub-PeV diffuse extragalactic neutrino flux observed by IceCube.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A proton spectrum with index -3.1 interacting with 0.3 keV X-rays via the Delta resonance reproduces the observed 30 TeV neutrino break and limits the accompanying gamma-ray cascade contribution to ~10% of the isotrop...

    The Gluon Condensation model fits gamma-ray spectra of TXS 0506+056 and NGC 1068 with neutrino predictions consistent with IceCube, but predicts spectral hardening that disfavors it for SNR G54.1+0.3.

    The Gluon Condensation model fits gamma-ray spectra of TXS 0506+056 and NGC 1068 with neutrino predictions consistent with IceCube, but predicts unphysical hardening for SNR G54.1+0.3.
