Description
In this talk I will present an analysis method and the results of a search for the possible neutrino flux from the Fermi bubbles and the Galactic Center region using data from the IceCube neutrino observatory. The “Fermi bubbles” are large extended regions of hard gamma-ray emission above and below the Galactic Center. They were discovered with data from the Fermi-LAT telescope in 2010. Various theories have been proposed in order to explain the origin of the gamma-rays. In particular, within hadronic models accelerated cosmic rays interact with interstellar matter and create the observed gamma-ray emission and in addition neutrinos, which can be detected with IceCube
