Possible Supernova Multi-Explosions and Induced Gravitational Collapse

In this paper, three hotly discussed problems, namely the neutrino bursts, the blue progenitor, and the mixing phenomenon, observed in SN1987A are summarized. But it is pointed that while all the observations on SN1987A do not favour a twice-banged scenario, we have found three historical cases from ancient Chinese documents that might be interpreted as twice- or even multi-explosions of a supernova. Finally in a one-dimensional simulation we demonstrate that an induced gravitational collapse b possible.
