Neutrino Simulations for SN 2023ixf

Neutrinos emitted from a supernova can be simulated, see the article on astrobites and the paper [2306.14717] Low and High Energy Neutrinos from SN 2023ixf in M101.

This simulation followed the hypothesis “core-collapse supernovae (CC-SNe)”.

And the result of the paper:

  • Low-energy neutrinos: Super-K reports no significant detection, which supports the conclusions of this paper. Also, this supernova would likely not be detectable by Hyper-K.
  • High-energy neutrinos: IceCube reports no significant detection, which is probably because
    • only a small fraction (less than about 10%) of the kinetic energy is used to accelerate particles.
    • the jet lasts a long time.
    • it is highly relativistic.
