We model neutrino emission from a newly born neutron star subsequent to a supernova explosion to study its sensitivity to the equation of state, neutrino opacities, and convective instabilities at high baryon density. We find the time period and spatial extent over which convection operates is sensitive to the behavior of the nuclear symmetry energy at and above nuclear density. When convection ends within the proto-neutron star, there is a break in the predicted neutrino emission that may be clearly observable.

  1. Charged-current neutrino opacity within the relativistic Hartree-Fock framework for astrophysical simulations of core-collapse supernovae and binary neutron star mergers

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations of charged-current neutrino opacities reveal large discrepancies and a substantial shift in medium-dependent modifications compared to standard relativistic mean-field models.
