Supernova neutrino signals based on long-term axisymmetric simulations

Understand

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 rates, energy spectra, and cumulative number of events at some terrestrial neutrino detectors, and then discuss some new features in the late phase that emerge in our models.
• Contrary to popular belief, neutrino emissions in the late phase are not always steady, but rather have temporal fluctuations, the vigor of which hinges on the CCSN model and neutrino flavor.
• We find that such temporal variations are not primarily driven by proto-neutron star (PNS) convection, but by fallback accretion in exploding models.
