Implications from the available information on the supernova SN 1987A are discussed for the supernova models. We derive an upper hound of 10-25 eV for the neutrino rest mass.Aus den fur die Supernova 1987A verfugbaren Informationen werden SchluDfolgerungen fur Supernovamodelle diskutiert. Eine obere Grenze von 10 -25 eV fur die Neutrinoruhmasse wird abgeleitet.Keji ww-ds: supernova models -neutrino rest mass Four well known deep underground neutrino observatories, located in the Mont Blanc tunnel, the Baksan valley, the Morton Salt Mine (IMB), and the Kamioka Mine, respectively, reported recently neutrino signals most probable of astrophysical origin (TRAN THANH VAN 1987). For each neutrino burst the time differences between individual neutrino events and the neutrino energy were measured. (ii) The IMB detector measured eight neutrino events within five seconds in the energy range 20 5 E, 5 44 MeV. (iii) The Baksan neutrino observatory reported three events within six seconds in the energy range 12 5 E, 5 I8 MeV. (iv) Eleven events within thirteen seconds in the energy range 7 5 E,, 5 36 MeV were observed by the Kamiokande experiment.
During the night of 2 3~2 4February, 1987 A supernova has been discovered in the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud (KUNKEL, MADORE 1987). Now it is certain that the supernova progenitor is Sanduleak -69202, a blue B3 supergiant. The analysis of the spectrum of SN 1987 A revealed an overall energy distribution which can be ascribed to that of a hot star. Studying the evolution of the optical spectrum of SN 1987 A shows strong spectral lines corresponding to the Balmer series of hydrogen. The shift of the H CI absorption trough with respect to the rest wavelength corresponds to a velocity of the emitting gas cloud of about 17000 km s -' (WOLTJEK et al. 1987). Due to the optical observations the event has to be considered as a supernova of type I1 originating from an exploding star in the mass range 10-25M,.According to the theory of the collapse of massive stars (10-25A4,) leading to the supernova type I T phenomenon, some time before the optical evidence of the event a strong neutrino signal should occur. Indeed, as summarized above, in the Liquid Scintillation Detector (LSD) of the soviet-italian collaboration in the Mont Blanc neutrino observatory five neutrino pulses of finite width, which can be definitely correlated with the optical discovery of the supernova SN 1987 A, were detected on February 23,1987. The burst seen by the Mont Blanc neutrino observatory has had a pulse width of seven seconds and an energy spread of 5 5 E, 5 10 MeV. The detector is sensitive to detect low energy particles with a threshold of (5-7) MeV. The neutrino burst should be originated by the collapse of the massive star to a neutron star.Moreover, the observation of a second event of neutrino pulses approximately five hours after the Mont Blanc observations has been reported by three other neutrino observatories as mentioned above. In the Kamioka experiment altogether eleven neutrino pulses with energies i...
