A Review of the Theory of Galactic Winds Driven by Stellar Feedback
Galactic winds from star-forming galaxies are crucial to the process of galaxy formation and evolution, regulating star formation, shaping the stellar mass function and the mass-metallicity relation, and enriching the intergalactic medium with metals ...

All core collapse supernovae are strongly aspherical. The "Bochum event," with velocity components displaced symmetrically about the principal H$ $ line, strongly suggests that SN 1987A was a bi-polar rather than a uni-polar explosion. While there is a general tendency to display a single prominant axis in images and spectropolarimetry, there is also ...

Radio observations have shown that some supernovae are powerful radio emitters which increase rapidly in brightness to radio luminosities which are hundreds to thousands of times greater than even the brightest known supernova remnant, Cas A. They then fade over a period of weeks, months, or years.

Symbiotic binaries are systems containing white dwarfs (WDs) and red giants. Symbiotic novae are those systems in which thermonuclear eruptions occur on the WD components.

Gap Transients Interacting with Circumstellar Medium
In the last 20 years, modern wide-field surveys discovered a new class of peculiar transients, which lie in the luminosity gap between standard supernovae and classical novae. These transients are often called “intermediate luminosity optical transients”

Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are powerful neutrino sources and as such important targets for the growing array of neutrino observatories. We review the current status of SN theory and the expected characteristics of the neutrino signal. After recalling what we have learned from SN 1987A and general SN properties we review the physics potential of a ...

As with many fields from fashion to politics, science is susceptible to “bandwagon”-driven research where an idea becomes increasingly popular, garnering a growing amount of “scientific” support. Bandwagons allow scientists to converge on a solution, but

There is increasing observational evidence that short and long Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate in different subclasses, each one with specific energy release, spectra, duration, etc, and all of them with binary progenitors.

The Purport of Space Telescopes in Supernova Research
The violent stellar explosions known as supernovae have received especially strong attention in both the research community and the general public recently.

Impact of Newly Measured Nuclear Reaction Rates on 26Al Ejected Yields from Massive Stars
Over the last three years, the rates of all the main nuclear reactions involving the destruction and production of 26Al in stars (26Al(n, p)26Mg, 26Al(n, α)23Na, 26Al(p, γ)27Si and 25Mg(p, γ)26Al) have been re-evaluated thanks to new high-precision ...
