The Effect of Mass Loss and Convective Overshooting on the Pre-Collapse Structure, Composition, and Neutrino Emission of Red Supergiants

McKenzie A. Myers, Claire B. Campbell, Kelly M. Patton +6

Prior to core collapse, the neutrino emission from red supergiants (RSGs) is so large that a nearby ($\lesssim 1$kpc) RSG will become visible in current and near-future neutrino det…
