J. 604, 687 (2004)] and any anisotropies at lower energies are very small. See e.g. A.G.K.Smith & R.W. Clay [Aust. J. Phys. 50, 827 (1997)] and R.W. Clay, M.A. McDonough & A.G.K. Smith [Publ. Astron.

166. It was argued in Ref. [37] that the alleged two neutrino bursts of SN 1987A were due to the formation of a neutron star, followed by an accretion-induced collapse into a black hole. The idea would have been better accepted nowadays than it was at the time
