SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on developing a formula to calculate the neutrino emission from a proto-neutron star (PNS) over its lifespan of approximately 10-20 seconds. The key parameters include the total neutrinos present in the PNS, estimated at 1057, the amount of trapped neutrinos, and the neutrinos produced during cooling. Participants emphasize the importance of comparing the proposed formula with existing models in the literature, such as those addressing proto-neutron star convection and neutrino-driven winds.
