contents Cosmogenic neutrinos (CNs) are produced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) interacting with cosmic background radiation. We investigated the properties of CN point/extended sources, i.e, the neutrino spectrum, and angular profile as functions of time, by assuming that UHECR sources are transient events, such as gamma-ray bursts. The properties depend much on the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF), but the angular extent is in general sub-degree, within which the CN flux can overshoot the diffuse CN flux in early time. The nearby CN point sources could be detected for the low IGMF case by future neutrino telescopes. The recent KM3-230213A event is possible to account for by a nearby transient CN source, rather than diffuse CN emission. Observations of CN point sources will provide a chance to search for UHECR sources.
