Estimations of the Distances of Stellar Collapses in the Galaxy by
Analyzing the Energy Spectrum of Neutrino Bursts    [PDF]

Ernesto Kemp, Bruno Miguez, Walter Fulgione

The neutrino telescopes of the present generation, depending on their
specific features, can reconstruct the neutrino spectra from a galactic burst.
Since the optical counterpart could be not available, it is desirable to have
at hand alternative methods to estimate the distance of the supernova explosion
using only the neutrino data. In this work we present preliminary results on
the method we are proposing to estimate the distance from a galactic supernova
based only on the spectral shape of the neutrino burst and assumptions on the
gravitational binding energy released an a typical supernova explosion due to
stellar collapses.
