Scientific paper

Preliminary data on SN1987a are used to model the supernova event and to set limits on the behavior of the precursor star before the explosion. Anomalous properties of SN1987a, including the weak and rapidly declining radio flux, the absence of X-ray emission, and the extremely short interval between the time of core collapse and the first optical sighting, are consistent with what would be expected from the blue B3I star which is suggested as the progenitor. Several potential sources of energy for the light curve, including the radioactive decay of isotopes produced in the explosion and radiation from a young, rapidly rotating neutron star, are considered. The intense extraterrestrial bursts of neutrinos reported on February 23 from Kamioka and Cleveland are suggested to be associated with SN1987a, and implications of the neutrino detections are discussed.
