Abstract
Very-high-energy neutrinos can be observed by detecting air shower signals. Detection of transienttarget of opportunity (ToO) neutrino sources is part of a broader multimessenger program. TheExtreme Universe Space Observatory on a Super Pressure Balloon 2 (EUSO-SPB2) Mission,launched on May 12, 2023, was equipped with an optical Cherenkov Telescope (CT) designed todetect up-going air showers sourced by Earth-skimming neutrinos that interact near the Earth’slimb. Presented here is an overview of the sky coverage and ToO scheduler software for EUSO-SPB2. By using the balloon trajectory coordinates and setting constraints on the positions of theSun and Moon to ensure dark skies, we can determine if and when a source direction is slightlybelow the Earth’s limb. From a source catalog, CT scheduling and pointing is performed tooptimize the search for high energy neutrinos coming from astrophysical sources. Using historicalsuper pressure balloon trajectories and the EUSO-SPB2 trajectory, sample schedules are described.
