Identifying the astrophysical sources responsible for the high-energy cosmic neutrinos has been a longstanding challenge. In a previous work, we report evidence for a spatial correlation between blazars from the 5th Roma-BZCat catalog and neutrino data of the highest detectable energies, i.e. >0.1 PeV, collected by the IceCube Observatory in the southern celestial hemisphere. The statistical significance is found at the level of 2 x 10^{-6} post-trial. In this work we test whether a similar correlation exists in the northern hemisphere, were IceCube is mostly sensitive to <0.1 PeV energies. We find a consistent correlation between blazars and northern neutrino data at the pre-trial p-value of 5.12 x 10^{-4}, and a post-trial chance probability of 6.79 x 10^{-3}. Combining the post-trial probabilities observed for the southern and northern experiments yields a global post-trial chance probability of 2.59 x 10^{-7} for the genuineness of such correlation. This implies that the spatial correlation is highly unlikely to arise by chance. Our studies push forward an all-sky subset of 52 objects as highly likely PeVatron extragalactic accelerators.

The broadband spectral energy distribution of candidate neutrino blazars
Multi-epoch analysis of four neutrino-candidate blazars shows mostly leptonic SEDs with hadronic contributions needed in the quiescent epoch of PKS 1502+106 and the neutrino epoch of PKS 0446+112.

Association of the IceCube neutrinos with CAZ blazar light curves
Spatiotemporal correlation search between IceCube neutrinos and blazar optical flares in expanded samples shows weak signals primarily from two associations, with an upper limit of 8% neutrino contribution from flarin...

The Type IIn SN 2025cbj coincidence with the high-energy neutrino IceCube-250421A
SN 2025cbj shows dense CSM interaction but the IceCube-250421A coincidence has p~0.24 probability and predicts only ~0.001 muon neutrinos in the Bronze stream.
