Supernova neutrinos in the multi-messenger era
Speaker: Shunsaku Horiuchi (Science Tokyo)
Abstract:
The historical multi-messenger firework SN 1987A confirmed the importance of neutrinos in a core-collapse supernova. However, there have been no confirmed supernova neutrino detections in the three decades since, leaving many open questions unanswered. The rise of multi-messenger astronomy opens new opportunities to detect more of these precious messengers in the future. In this talk, I will start nearby, with new prospects from a supernova in the Milky Way galaxy, before moving further in distance, to distant galaxies that power an isotropic and constant diffuse flux of neutrinos. I will highlight how these offer complementary probes of core-collapse supernovae and associated phenomena. Along the way, I will cover how the combination of theoretical, observational astronomy, and experimental neutrino communities are crucial for progress in core-collapse supernovae in the multi-messenger era.
