Description

Neutrinos play important roles in revealing mechanisms of energetic astrophysical explosions such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and supernovae (SNe). The large neutrino detector, IceCube has opened a new window of the multi-messenger astronomy. I overview theoretical prospects of high-energy higneutrino emissions from gamma-ray bursts, newly-born magnetars and luminous supernovae in view of the latest theoretical and observational developments, and discuss the potential of GeV-TeV neutrinos for revealing the progenitor star, circumstellar environment and the connection between GRBs and SNe.
