The Awakening of a Blazar at Redshift 2.7 Temporally Coincident with the Arrival of Cospatial Neutrino Event IceCube-201221A

We report on multiwavelength studies of a blazar NVSS J171822+423948, which is identified as the low-energy counterpart of 4FGL J1718.5+4237, the unique γ -ray source known to be cospatial with the IceCube neutrino event IC-201221A. After a 12 yr long quiescent period undetected by Fermi-LAT, γ -ray...
