Description
The Supernova Early Warning System (SNEWS) is a public alert system that provides a warning to astronomers about the observation of neutrinos from a Galactic supernova. These events are extremely rare, so it will be crucial to gather all the physics possible from the next event. SNEWS has been operating as a simple coincidence between neutrino experiments from all around the world for more than two decades. In the current era of multi-messenger astrophysics, there are new opportunities for SNEWS to optimize the science reach from the next Galactic supernova beyond the simple early alert. Upgrades and new capabilities of SNEWS 2.0 will be presented.
