The presented study is based on spectral data obtained during 2020–2022 on the echelle spectrograph HRS of the SALT telescope and TESS photometric data. The constructed radial velocity curve is based on 11 spectra covering all phases of this binary system. The orbital parameters of this binary system have been determined for the first time. The constructed model for the light curve according to TESS data converges with an accuracy of 0.01%. The effective temperatures of both components, their rotational velocities, as well as the metallicity of the system and the interstellar reddening value are directly determined from the spectra. Our analysis of photometric and spectral data allowed us to directly calculate the luminosities of both components, their radii and masses with accuracy of less than one percent. A comparison with the evolutionary tracks shows that the age of the system is 325 Myr, component A has already left the main sequence (MS), and component B is still on MS. Both components are not synchronized, and the system is not circularized. The kinematic characteristics, together with the metallicity determined in this work, indicate that the V891 Mon system is a typical representative of the “kinematically cold” component of a thin disk, which is consistent with its evolutionary status as a young system.

Analysis of their accuracy made it possible to construct two neutrino distribution functions with higher accuracy, respectively, inside and outside of the protoneutron star. This model was extended by adding to the main neutrino radiation a contribution from a neutrino halo, which appears in the supernova in the region behind the shock wave. Its minimal model required the introduction of two additional parameters for the overall distribution function in this part of the supernova. Based on the results obtained for a minimal model of the neutrino distribution function in the supernova envelope, radial fits of its parameters, including parameters of neutrino halo, were obtained. An attempt was made to find a correlation of these parameters with the characteristic spatial scales of the supernova. Within this problem, a fairly complete set of these quantities was calculated.
