To place core-collapse supernovae (SNe) in context with the evolution of massive stars, it is
necessary to determine their stellar origins. I describe the direct identification of SN …

Over the last 15 years, the supernova community has endeavoured to directly identify
progenitor stars for core-collapse supernovae discovered in nearby galaxies. These …

Early observations of supernovae (SNe) indicate that enhanced mass-loss and pre-SN
outbursts may occur in progenitors of many types of SNe. We investigate the role of energy …

We present an analysis of the diversity of V-band light-curves of hydrogen-rich type II
supernovae. Analyzing a sample of 116 supernovae, several magnitude measurements are …

Literature data are collated for 38 stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SE SNe; ie
SNe IIb, Ib, Ic and Ic-BL) that have good light-curve coverage in more than one optical band …

JCW had long wanted to write a new monograph on supernovae. Despite an immense
explosion in the literature and many review articles, there had not been one since that of …

We present four ab initio axisymmetric core-collapse supernova simulations initiated from
12, 15, 20, and 25${M} _ {\odot} $ zero-age main sequence progenitors. All of the …

We present maps of the nature of single star progenitors of supernovae and their remnants
in mass and metallicity space. We find our results are similar to others but we have gone …

There are a growing number of nearby supernovae (SNe) for which the progenitor star is
detected in archival pre-explosion imaging. From these images it is possible to measure the …

Context. The post-main-sequence evolution of massive stars is very sensitive to many
parameters of the stellar models. Key parameters are the mixing processes, the metallicity …
