Progenitors of Core-Collapse Supernovae [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2009 Knowledge of the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae is a fundamental component in understanding the explosions. The recent progress in finding such stars is reviewed. The minimum initial mass that can produce a supernova (SN) has converged to 8 ± 1 M⊙from direct detections of red supergiant progenitors of II-P SNe and the most massive white dwarf ...

Theory of core-collapse supernovae [PDF]
Physics Reports, 2007 Advances in our understanding and the modeling of stellar core-collapse and supernova explosions over the past 15 years are reviewed, concentrating on the evolution of hydrodynamical simulations, the description of weak interactions and nuclear equation of state effects, and new insights into the nucleosynthesis occurring in the early phases of the ...

Core-Collapse Supernovae: Reflections and Directions [PDF]
Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, 2012 Core-collapse supernovae are among the most fascinating phenomena in astrophysics and provide a formidable challenge for theoretical investigation. They mark the spectacular end of the lives of massive stars and, in an explosive eruption, release as much

Magnetorotational Explosions of Core-Collapse Supernovae
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2014 Core-collapse supernovae are accompanied by formation of neutron stars. The gravitation energy is transformed into the energy of the explosion, observed as SN II, SN Ib,c type supernovae.

Gravitational Waves from Core Collapse Supernovae [PDF]
Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2010 We present the gravitational wave signatures for a suite of axisymmetric core collapse supernova models with progenitors masses between 12 and 25 solar masses.

Spectropolarimetry of Supernovae
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2008 Overwhelming evidence has accumulated in recent years that supernova explosions are intrinsically 3-dimensional phenomena with significant departures from spherical symmetry.

Explosion Mechanisms of Core-Collapse Supernovae [PDF]
Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, 2012 Supernova theory, numerical and analytic, has made remarkable progress in the past decade. This progress was made possible by more sophisticated simulation tools, especially for neutrino transport, improved microphysics, and deeper insights into the role

Magnetorotational Instability in Core-Collapse Supernovae [PDF]
Acta Physica Polonica B Proceedings Supplement, 2017 We discuss the relevance of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe). Our recent numerical studies show that in CCSNe, the MRI is terminated by parasitic instabilities of the Kelvin-Helmholtz type.

Detecting the progenitors of core collapse supernovae [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2001 The masses and the evolutionary states of the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae are not well constrained by direct observations. Stellar evolution theory generally predicts that massive stars with initial masses less than about 30M_sol should ...

Progenitors of Core-Collapse Supernovae [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2017 Massive stars have a strong impact on their surroundings, in particular when they produce a core-collapse supernova at the end of their evolution. In these proceedings, we review the general evolution of massive stars and their properties at collapse as ...
