Core-collapse SNe (all other Types but Ia)
The SN outburst is triggered by the gravitational collapse of
the “iron” core of a mass MFe=(1.22) M into a neutron star.
About (1015)% MFec2 is radiated in the form of neutrinos
and antineutrinos of all the flavors (e, , ):

E = (3 5) 10 erg
The explosion energy (kinetic energy of the envelope expansion):
Eexp = (0.52)1051erg
it comes from the shock wave created at the boundary between
a new-born neutron star and the envelope to be expelled.

Rich nucleosynthesis — from neutrino-induced creation of light element
in C-O and He shells through synthesis of heavy nuclides
by neutron capture at the bottom of expelled envelope

Mostly electron neutrinos νe of individual energy:
• 15-20 MeV for spherically-symmetrical collapse
• 30-40 MeV for rotational-fission model is necessary
to interpret the statistically significant signal from
SN 1987A registered by the LSD neutrino detector
Characteristic duration of the peak < 0.5 s

Results of obsevations
Central dust cloud has a form of a prolate
ellipsoid with the axis ratio about 2.5.
The ellipsoid lays in the plane of equatorial ring
and expands with the velocity of ~3000 km/s.
The dust is heated by X-rays from the ring and
by the decay of Ti44 and radiates in far infrared.

Central stellar remnant is not yet seen being
screened by the dust.

Conclusion
The neutrino detectors capable to separate the contributions
from different types of neutrino in the registered signal are
of great value for detection of neutrino signal from
gravitational collapses in our Galaxy.
Such detectors are those that contain scintillator+Fe,
for example, LSD (Mont Blanc) and LVD (Gran Sasso).
The rremnant of SN 1987A is a natural laboretory
for studying the origin of cosmic rays.
Close collaboration between supernova and cosmic ray
people is extremely welcome.
