Scientific paper

The data regarding the optical outburst in the case of the formation of a type II supernova are incomplete in the sense that supernovae are invariably discovered at or shortly after peak optical intensity so only the decline from maximum brightness has been recorded in any detail. The possibility of an observation of the preceding part of the optical intensity curve, would be greatly facilitated if the occurrence of a supernova could be predicted on the basis of the presupernova behavior of the star. It is shown that neutrino emission in the final stages of nuclear burning could, in principle, provide such a warning, though the current limitations are severe. The reported results are based on a study of the final stages of evolution of a 15-solar mass star.
