The next Galactic supernova (SN) will probably occur while current or next generation neutrino experiments are online. It is crucial to have correct understanding of the basic characteristics of the expected neutrino signals. The nominal expectation of the duration of the neutrino signal is ~ 10 s; this expectation guided both theoretical and experimental effort. We simulate SN neutrino...

The likelihood that a massive star explodes, by any means, is
sensitive to the "compactness" of the presupernova core -
essentially how fast the density declines outside the iron core.
It turns out, perhaps surprisingly, that the compactness is not
a monotonic function of the star's birth mass, and, in some mass
regions, whether the star explodes or not is almost random. We
survey...
