TL;DR
The paper discusses the SuperNova Early Warning System (SNEWS), which detects neutrino bursts from supernovae in the Milky Way to provide early alerts to astronomers, enhancing observational readiness.
Contribution
It introduces SNEWS, a network that rapidly alerts astronomers about supernova neutrino signals, improving early detection capabilities.
Findings
Neutrino bursts can serve as early supernova indicators
Current detectors have sufficient sensitivity for Milky Way supernovae
SNEWS enables prompt astronomical follow-up
Abstract
A core collapse in the Milky Way will produce an enormous burst of neutrinos in detectors world-wide. Such a burst has the potential to provide an early warning of a supernova's appearance. I will describe the nature of the signal, the sensitivity of current detectors, and SNEWS, the SuperNova Early Warning System, a network designed to alert astronomers as soon as possible after the detected neutrino signal.
