Abstract
The IceCube DeepCore is a dense infill array of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the SouthPole. While IceCube is best suited for detecting neutrinos with energies of several 100 GeVand above, DeepCore allows to probe neutrinos with lower energies. We focus on a sampleof neutrinos with energies above approximately 10 GeV, which was originally optimised foroscillation experiments. Recently, it has been adapted to enable searches for transient sources ofastrophysical neutrinos in the sky. In particular, this low-energy dataset can be used to conductfollow-up searches of gravitational wave transients detected by the LIGO-Virgo instruments. Astudy of this, which complements IceCube’s follow-up of gravitational wave events using high-energy neutrino samples, will be discussed here.
