Abstract
We show, that SN1987A can serve as an astrophysical laboratory for testing the viability of the assertion that a new massive neutral fermion is implie d by the KARMEN data. We show that a wide range of the parameters character izing the proposed particle is ruled out by the above constraints making th is interpretation very unlikely. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
