On 2019/07/30.86853 UT IceCube detected a high-energy astrophysical neutrino candidate (Atel #12967). The FSRQ PKS 1502+106 is located within the 50% uncertainty region of the event.
We report that the flux density at 15 GHz measured with the OVRO 40m Telescope shows a long-term outburst that started in 2014, which is currently reaching an all-time high of about 4 Jy, since the beginning of the OVRO measurements in 2008.
A similar 15 GHz long-term outburst was seen in TXS 0506+056 during the neutrino event IceCube-170922A.
