Abstract

From the data of the neutrino burst detected by the Kamiokande-II and IMB groups we calculated the total neutrino energy carefully taking into account the efficiency of their water Čerenkov counters. By using this result, we discussed the neutron star mass which was formed by this supernova explosion. We conjectured that the mass is 1.0–1.7 M ⊙ and a black hole was not formed, assuming that the distance to the supernova is 50 kpc. If the distance is 56 kpc, the mass range turns into 1.0–1.8 M ⊙ and the possibility of black hole formation is also ruled out.
