Abstract:
Neutrinos play important roles in revealing mechanisms of energetic astrophysical explosions such as gamma-ray bursts and supernovae. Recent observations have suggested that subphotospheric emissions including shock breakout emissions play important roles in explaining their observations. I discuss neutrino emissions from gamma-ray bursts, newly-born magnetars and luminous supernovae in view of the latest developments, and show the importance of pp neutrinos and gamma rays as well as the limitation of cosmic-ray acceleration.
