Shock Breakouts from Compact Circumstellar Medium Surrounding Core-collapse Supernova Progenitors May Contribute Significantly to the Observed ≳10 TeV Neutrino Background by Eli Waxman, Tal Wasserman, Eran O. Ofek, Avishay Gal-Yam

“…A quantitative theory describing the evolution of the electromagnetic spectrum during a breakout, as the radiation-mediated shock is transformed into a collisionless one, is required to enable (i) using data from upcoming surveys that will systematically detect large numbers of young,  <1 day old SNe to determine the preexplosion mass-loss history of the SN progenitor population, and (ii) a quantitative determination of the neutrino luminosity and spectrum.…”

Accurate space-based NO_<i>x</i> emission estimates with the flux divergence approach require fine-scale model information on local oxidation chemistry and profile shapes by F. Cifuentes, F. Cifuentes, H. Eskes, E. Dammers, E. Dammers, C. Bryan, F. Boersma, F. Boersma

“…Our results show that the FDA captures the magnitude and spatial distribution of the <span class="inline-formula">NO_<i>x</i></span> emissions to high accuracy (absolute bias <span class="inline-formula">&lt;9</span> %), provided that the observations represent the <span class="inline-formula">NO₂</span> column in the boundary layer, that wind speed and direction are representative for the boundary layer (PBL) column, and that the high-resolution spatiotemporal variability of the <span class="inline-formula">NO₂</span> lifetimes and <span class="inline-formula">NO_<i>x</i>:NO₂</span> ratio is accounted for in the inversion instead of using single fixed values. The FDA systematically overestimates <span class="inline-formula">NO_<i>x</i></span> emissions by 15 %–60 % when using tropospheric <span class="inline-formula">NO₂</span> columns as the driving observation, while using PBL <span class="inline-formula">NO₂</span> columns largely overcomes this systematic error. …”
