Nonspherical mass motions are a generic feature of core-collapse supernovae, and
hydrodynamic instabilities play a crucial role in the explosion mechanism. The first …

After the Big Bang, production of heavy elements in the early Universe takes place starting
from the formation of the first stars, their evolution, and explosion. The first supernova …

To reach a deeper understanding of the origin of elements in the periodic table, we construct
Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) models for all stable elements from C (A= 12) to U (A …

Neutrinos play a crucial role in the collapse and explosion of massive stars, governing the
infall dynamics of the stellar core, triggering and fueling the explosion and driving the …

Multi-dimensional fluid flow plays a paramount role in the explosions of massive stars as
core-collapse supernovae. In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) simulations of these …

Thus far, judging the fate of a massive star (either a neutron star [NS] or a black hole) solely
by its structure prior to core collapse has been ambiguous. Our work and previous attempts …

We study the impact of large-scale perturbations from convective shell burning on the core-
collapse supernova explosion mechanism using 3D multigroup neutrino hydrodynamics …

We have performed ab initio neutrino radiation hydrodynamics simulations in three and two
spatial dimensions (3D and 2D) of core-collapse supernovae from the same 15 M☉ …

Models of neutrino-driven core-collapse supernova explosions have matured considerably
in recent years. Explosions of low-mass progenitors can routinely be simulated in 1D, 2D …

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 …
