| dc.description.abstract | We consider the effect of free -streaming axion emission on numerical models for the cooling of the newly born neutron star associated with SN1987A. We find that for an axion mass of greater than -10-3 eV, axion emission shortens the duration of the expected neutrino burst so significantly that it would be inconsistent with the neutrino observations made by the Kamiokande II (KII) and Irvine -Michigan- Brookhaven (IMB) detectors. However, we have not investigated the possibility that axion trapping (which should occur for masses 20.02 eV) sufficiently reduces axion emission so that axion masses greater than -2 eV would be consistent with the neutrino observations. | |
