Description
Large-scale neutrino telescopes like IceCube monitor for supernovae using low energy neutrinos O(10 MeV), with a detection horizon out to the Magellanic Clouds. However, some models predict the emission of high-energy neutrinos O(>TeV) in core-collapse supernovae through the interaction of the ejecta with the circumstellar material or through choked jets. In this talk, I will explore the detection horizon of high-energy neutrinos emitted from core-collapse supernovae for the IceCube telescope, demonstrating that the reach for these objects can be pushed past the LMC and out to the neighboring galaxies in the Mpc range.
