Inelastic nuclear collisions of these protons produce an similar to1 h long flash of TeV neutrinos and 10 GeV photons, about 10 h after the thermal (10 MeV) neutrino burst from the cooling neutron star. A Galactic supernova in a red supergiant star would produce a photon and neutrino flux of similar to 10(-4) erg cm(-2) s(-1). A km(2) neutrino detector will detect similar to 100 muons, thus allowing to constrain both supernova models and neutrino properties.en-USJournal Article2019-09-2710.1103/PhysRevLett.87.071101
