Effect of mass loss and convective overshooting on the precollapse structure, composition, and neutrino emission of red supergiants

Prior to core collapse, the neutrino emission from red supergiants (RSGs) is so large that a nearby ($\lesssim$ 1 kpc) RSG will become visible in current and near-future neutrino detectors. The rate of emission and the spectra of the pre-supernova (pre-SN) neutrinos from RSGs are...
