Simple Perspectives on SN 1987A
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Abstract
This conference has shown that the accumulated wealth of data on SN 1987A has enabled us to learn an unprecedented amount of physical information about a single supernova event and supernovae in general, as well as to confirm much of the heretofore established theory. While some difficult problems remain, I discuss some particularly simple and useful theoretical notions concerning the bolometric and γ-ray light curves which can be gleaned from our current body of knowledge, drawing primarily upon results of analytic work performed by W.D. Arnett and myself. Also, the work of Lamb, Melia and Loredo (1987) on neutrinos from the supernova is discussed briefly.
