 The ingredients of a long gamma-ray burst.

As some of the most energetic sources in the universe, gamma-ray bursts have long been considered a possible astrophysical source of neutrinos — tiny “ghostlike” particles that travel through space and large amounts of matter unhindered. These high-energy neutrinos are of particular interest to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a gigaton-scale neutrino detector at the South Pole.
