Left: ANTARES 90% confidence limits on a flavour-uniform neutrino flux (Φν ≡ Φνe + Φνμ + Φντ = 3Φνμ) from the six blazars as a function of spectral index sν (Eq. (1)). Right: corresponding limits on the expected number of IceCube events of blazar origin, using the exposures shown in Fig. 1 and the limiting fluxes. Since the limits from 0235−618, 0302−623, and 0308−611 are almost identical, and since no events were observed, the limits also apply to the summed flux from all three of these blazars, and hence only one line is shown, and is labelled “IC 20 TANAMI blazars”. |

Appendix A: Calculation of neutrino energy flux
For each spectral index −sν and source declination δ, the required neutrino flux 
expected to produce a single ANTARES event can be found from the expression 
(A.1)where Aeff(Eν,δ) and teff are respectively the ANTARES effective area and the observation time. While the total energy in such a flux is infinite, the energy over the sensitive range of ANTARES can be calculated by defining characteristic energies Emin(δ,sν) and Emax(δ,sν) such that:

with 0.05 below Emin and 0.05 above Emax. The total neutrino energy flux 
in the range Emin ≤ Eν ≤ Emax required to produce one event can then be calculated from as: 
(A.3)In Fig. 2 is plotted along with Emin and Emax.
