Abstract

We characterize stable curves whose compactified degree- Jacobian is of Néron type. This means the following: for any one-parameter regular smoothing of , the special fiber of the Néron model of the Jacobian is isomorphic to a dense open subset of the degree- compactified Jacobian of . It is well known that compactified Jacobians of Néron type have the best modular properties, and that they are endowed with a mapping property useful for applications.
