Features of Kamiokande-II, IMB and Baksan observations and their interpretation in a two-component model for the signal

Giulia Pagliaroli, Francesco Vissani

We consider the time, angular and energy distributions of SN1987A events discussing the quality of their agreement with the expectations. A global interpretation is performed consi…
