  20. WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM SUPERNOVA NEUTRINOS? • How well can we reconstruct the neutrino fluxes without any usual assumptions? • Will the uncertainty on the pinching compromise the determination of key properties? • What is the impact of including other detection channels? • What can we infer on the neutron star properties? 13
