    Growing evidence from multiwavelength observations of extragalactic supernovae (SNe) has established the presence of dense circumstellar material in Type II SNe. Interaction between the SN ejecta and the circumstellar material should lead to the acceleration of cosmic rays and associated high-energy emission. Observation of high-energy neutrinos along with the MeV neutrinos from SNe will provide unprecedented opportunities to understand unanswered questions in cosmic-ray and neutrino physics. We show that current and future neutrino detectors can identify high-energy neutrinos from an extragalactic SN in the neighborhood of the Milky Way. We present the prospects for detecting high-energy neutrino minibursts from SNe in known local galaxies, and demonstrate how the future high-energy neutrino network will extend the edge for identification of SN neutrinos

    Light curves of BSM-induced neutrino echoes in the optically-thin limit

    High-energy neutrinos from astrophysical transients serve as a probe of neutrino physics beyond the Standard Model. In particular, nonstandard interaction of neutrinos with the cosmic neutrino background or dark matter (DM) may have imprints on not only their spectra but also the arrival and time-delay distributions. Assuming that the interaction occurs at most once during the neutrino propagation, we provide analytic formulas for light curves of the neutrino echoes induced by BSM. The formulas can be used for constraining neutrino-neutrino coupling and neutrino-DM coupling
