Capabilities of IceCube’s Gamma-Ray, Optical and X-Ray Follow-Up Programs

The IceCube neutrino observatory is a 1 km$^3$ detector for Cherenkov light in the ice at the South Pole. Although the presence of a diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux has been confirmed, its origin has yet to be resolved. Given the current constraints on continuous point source searches, transient...
