In correspondence to SN 1987A two neutrino bursts were reported separated by ≡4.7 hr. Assuming that both of them are real, the authors propose a picture where the first supernova explosion generates a very close binary system (Porb ≡ 0.2 s) consisting of two collapsed objects, a neutron star plus a neutron star or a black hole. The evolution of the system is dominated by gravitational radiation energy losses, and after a few hours the lighter component fills its Roche lobe. Then matter starts to be transferred at a huge rate and on a timescale of very low1 s most of the mass of the lighter neutron star is expelled from its Roche lobe and accreted by the primary. In this process an energy of ≡1053ergs is released, which may explain the second neutrino burst.
