Scientific paper

The JANZOS collaboration has reported a 2-day burst of TeV gamma rays from SN 1987A 11 months after the explosion. At this SN epoch, TeV gamma rays can be produced only by inelastic proton interactions and secondary Pi0 decay. The proton luminosity during the burst has to be 2 x 10 to the 39th ergs/sec in contradiction with the most recent estimates of the total power of an internal energy source. We suggest a burst model where the TeV gamma-ray burst is produced by a previously accumulated proton beam, which is in agreement with the observed energetics of SN 1987A in all observation bands.
