- Abstract
The results of three different searches for neutrino candidates, associated with the IceCube-170922A event or fromthe direction of TXS 0506+056, by the ANTARES neutrino telescope, are presented. The first search refers to theonline follow-up of the IceCube alert; the second is based on the standard time-integrated method employed by theCollaboration to search for point-like neutrino sources; the third uses information from the IceCube time-dependentanalysis that reported bursting activity centered on 2014 December 13, as input for an ANTARES time-dependentanalysis. The online follow-up and the time-dependent analysis yield no events related to the source. The timeintegratedstudy performed over a period from 2007 to 2017 fits 1.03 signal events, which corresponds to a p-valueof 3.4% (not considering trial factors). Only for two other astrophysical objects in our candidate list has a smallerp-value been found. When considering that 107 sources have been investigated, the post-trial p-value for TXS0506+056 corresponds to 87%.
