We show that as a Type II supernova shock breaks out of its progenitor star, it becomes collisionless and may accelerate protons to energies >10 TeV. Inelastic nuclear collisions of these protons produce a ~1 hr long flash of TeV neutrinos…

Context: Supernovae (SNe) inject large amounts of energy and chemically enriched materials into their surrounding interstellar medium and, in some instances, into molecular clouds (MCs). The interaction of a supernova remnant (SNR) with a…
Star-forming and starburst galaxies are considered as one of the viable candidate sources of the high-energy cosmic neutrino background detected in IceCube. We revisit contributions of supernova remnants (SNRs) and hypernova remnants (HNRs)…

It is difficult to distinguish hadronic process from the leptonic one in $\gamma$-ray observation, which is however crucial in revealing the origin of cosmic rays. As an endeavor in the regard, we focus in this work on the complex…
