First Associated Neutrinos Search for a Failed Supernova Candidate with Super-Kamiokande

Failed supernovae are stellar core-collapse events in which the explosion does not succeed, and the core collapses directly into a black hole. In such a scenario, neutrinos are emitted and suddenly disappear once a black hole forms, making their observed time profile a direct indicator of black hole formation.
In 2024, a candidate failed supernova, M31-2014-DS1, was reported in the Andromeda galaxy at a distance of about 770 kpc.  This object offers a rare opportunity to search for neutrinos from a supernova beyond the Milky Way, making it one of the most promising candidates since SN 1987A.
In this seminar, I present the results of a neutrino search for M31-2014-DS1 using data from the Super-Kamiokande. I also discuss future prospects for neutrino observations of failed supernovae, highlighting the potential of Hyper-Kamiokande.
