Description:
<jats:p>Abstract. Moon shadow analyses are standard methods to calibrate cosmic-ray detectors. We report on a three-year observation of cosmic-ray Moon and Sun shadows in different detector configurations. The cosmic-ray Moon shadow was observed with high statistical significance (> 6σ) in previous analyses when the IceCube detector operated in a smaller configuration before it was completed in December 2010. This work shows first analyses of the cosmic-ray Sun shadow in IceCube. A binned analysis in one-dimension is used to measure the Moon and Sun shadow with high statistical significance greater than 12σ.
