Scientific paper

For a neutron star in a dense environment, the gravitational energy of accreting matter can be lost to neutrinos. One such environment surrounds a newly formed neutron star in a supernova; for the conditions in SN 1987A, ⪉0.1 Msun may have fallen back onto the central neutron star on a timescale of hours after the explosion. The mass accretion rate subsequently drops more rapidly than t-1, but steady accretion solutions with an extended shocked envelope around the neutron star and neutrino emission close to the surface are possible.
