PT Journal AU MiniBooNE Collaboration (Aguilar-Arevalo, AAea Sorel, M TI Search for core-collapse supernovae using the MiniBooNE neutrino detector SO Physical Review D JI Phys. Rev. D PY 2010 BP 032001 EP 6pp VL 81 IS 3 DI 10.1103/PhysRevD.81.032001 LA English AB We present a search for core-collapse supernovae in the Milky Way galaxy, using the MiniBooNE neutrino detector. No evidence is found for core-collapse supernovae occurring in our Galaxy in the period from December 14, 2004 to July 31, 2008, corresponding to 98% live time for collection. We set a limit on the core-collapse supernova rate out to a distance of 13.4 kpc to be less than 0.69 supernovae per year at 90% C. L. ER
