During the first few hundred days after the explosion, core-collapse supernovae (SNe) emit down-scattered X-rays and gamma-rays originating from radioactive line emissions, primarily from the $^{56}$Ni $\rightarrow$ $^{56}$Co $\rightarrow$…
We introduce a novel parameterization of supernova neutrino energy spectra with a clear physical motivation. Its central parameter, $\tau(t)$, quantifies the characteristic thermal-diffusion area during the explosion. When applied to the…
For non-universal gaugino masses, collider experiments do not provide any lower bound on the mass of the lightest neutralino. We review the supersymmetric parameter space which leads to light neutralinos, $M_\lsp \lsim {\cal O}(1\gev)$, and…
We present results of simulations of stellar collapse and explosions in spherical symmetry for progenitor stars in the 8-10 solar mass range with an O-Ne-Mg core. The simulations were continued until nearly one second after core bounce and…
A large fraction of SN1987A electron antineutrino events has been recorded in the first second. We study how this observation fits into the conventional paradigm for neutrino emission, and show that there is a 3.2 sigma hint for an initial…
The SN1987A in the Giant Magellanic Cloud was an amazing and extraordinary event because it was detected in real time for different neutrinos experiments ($\nu$s) around the world. Approximate $\sim25$ events were observed in three…
We propose a new parameterization of the antineutrino flux from core collapse supernovae, that allows an interpretation of its astrophysical parameters within the Bethe and Wilson scenario for the explosion, and that leads to a reasonable…
We present self-consistent, axisymmetric core-collapse supernova simulations performed with the Prometheus-Vertex code for 18 pre-supernova models in the range of 11-28 solar masses, including progenitors recently investigated by other…
In the light of the $\nu_\mu\to\nu_e$ neutrino oscillations which may have been observed at the LSND experiment we explore the consequences of two inverted mass schemes where solar neutrino oscillations occur between $\nu_e$ and $\nu_\tau$.…
We consider supernova SN1987A to find bounds on parameter of noncommutativity, $\th_{\mu\nu}$. Right handed neutrino in the noncommutative standard model, NCSM, can directly couple to the photon and the Z-gauge boson. Therefore the observed…
The method of the statistical sample moments was used for the analysis of neutrino events from SN1987A burst in Cherenkov detectors. In particular the coefficients of correlation $Q(E,t)$ between the energies $E$ of electron antineutrinos…
We present a carefully designed, systematic study of the angular resolution dependence of simulations with the Prometheus-Vertex neutrino-hydrodynamics code. Employing a simplified neutrino heating-cooling scheme in the Prometheus…
We study theoretical neutrino signals from core-collapse supernova (CCSN) computed using axisymmetric CCSN simulations that cover the post-bounce phase up to $\sim 4$~s. We provide basic quantities of the neutrino signals such as event…
Fostered by the possibilities of multi-dimensional computational modeling, in particular the advent of three-dimensional (3D) simulations, our understanding of the neutrino-driven explosion mechanism of core-collapse supernovae (SNe) has…
Based on the work of Menon & Heger (2017), we present the bolometric light curvesand spectra of the explosions of blue supergiant progenitors from binary mergers. We study SN 1987A and two other peculiar Type IIP supernovae: SN 1998A and SN…
As most massive stars are born in binary and other multiple-star systems, many are expected to exchange mass with a companion star or merge with it during their lives. This means that most supernovae (SNe) are from such binary products.…
Photometric and spectroscopic analyses of the intermediate-luminosity Type Ib supernova (SN) 2015ap and of the heavily reddened Type Ib SN~2016bau are discussed. Photometric properties of the two SNe, such as colour evolution, bolometric…
We perform hydrodynamic supernova simulations in spherical symmetry for over 100 single stars of solar metallicity to explore the progenitor-explosion and progenitor-remnant connections established by the neutrino-driven mechanism. We use…

We study the constraints on neutrino masses that could be derived from the observation of a Galactic supernova neutrino signal with present and future neutrino detectors. Our analysis is based on a recently proposed method that uses the…
