A recent time-integrated analysis of a catalog 110 candidate neutrino sources revealed cumulative excess in the data collected by IceCube between 2008 April 6 and 2018 July 10. This excess, inconsistent with background hypothesis Northern Hemisphere at 3.3? level, is associated four sources: NGC 1068, TXS 0506+056, PKS 1424+240, GB6 J1542+6129. Letter presents two time-dependent emission search...
