摘要
冰立方（IceCube）已使用径迹类事件进行了多次全天区点状中微子源搜寻，包括最近利用 10 年冰立方数据的时间积分分析。本文伴随这些在 2008 年 4 月 6 日至 2018 年 7 月 8 日期间由冰立方探测到的中微子候选者的公开数据发布。该筛选包含穿透径迹（主要源于缪子中微子候选者），其从各方向抵达探测器，以及起始于仪器化体积内的中微子径迹事件。对 2012 年 4 月后数据的更新筛选与重建略微提升了样本的灵敏度。尽管新旧版本间样本重叠超 80%，差异事件可能导致相对于先前 7 年事件筛选的变化。报告了 2014–2015 年 TXS 耀发的显著性的后验估计，并解释了与先前结果观测到的差异。该公开数据发布包含 10 年数据及缪子中微子信号事件的分箱探测器响应函数，在通用时间积分点源分析中显示出改善的灵敏度，应优先于先前发布版本使用。
