Scientific paper

Theoretical models are developed to account for neutrino and gravitational-wave observations of SN 1987A. The observational data are briefly characterized, and the problems encountered in using standard stellar-collapse models of SN explosions to explain the observations are discussed. In the proposed new model, the core object is made up of s-matter, a stable phase of quark matter containing u, d, and s quarks and a few electrons (as described by Witten, 1984). The phase transition from an n-star to an s-star would provide a large amount of energy (about 20 MeV/neutron) and would require a high density, like that predicted for collapsed stars with masses near the OV limit. In this scenario, the first Mt. Blanc neutrino event corresponds to n-star formation; the gravitational-wave event corresponds to inner-envelope collapse and neutronization; and the Kamiokande neutrino event represents the collapse of the n-star to an s-star.
