Abstract
The successful detection of neutrinos of stellar origin by underground experiments opened a new field of observational astronomy, the low-energy neutrino astrophysics. The main characteristics of the neutrino burst from a stellar gravitational collapse (GC) predicted by theory were successfully confirmed by the detection of v e from SN1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud by the Kamiokande-II and 1MB [1, 2] and probably by the Mt. Blanc and Baksan detectors [3, 4]. A galactic supernova would provide more detailed information on both astrophysical models of stellar collapse and elementary particle physics. A coordinated network for the observation of the prompt forms of radiation from supernovae, neutrinos and gravitational waves, has been advocated in recent years [5, 6, 7].
