Neutrinos are known to play important roles in many astrophysical scenarios from the early
period of the big bang to current stellar evolution being a unique messenger of the fusion …

We have simulated the collapse and evolution of the core of a solar-metallicity 40 M⊙ star
and find that it explodes vigorously by the neutrino mechanism, despite its very high" …

Neutrino flavor instabilities have the potential to shuffle neutrinos between electron, mu, and
tau flavor states, possibly modifying the core-collapse supernova mechanism and the heavy …

Magnetorotational supernovae are a rare type of core-collapse supernovae where the
magnetic field and rotation play a central role in the dynamics of the explosion. We present …

The radioactive isotopes 44 Ti and 56 Ni are important products of explosive
nucleosynthesis, which play a key role in supernova (SN) diagnostics and have been …

We present initial results from JWST NIRSpec integral field unit observations of the nearby
supernova SN 1987A. The observations provide the first spatially resolved spectroscopy of …

I review studies of core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and similar transient events that
attribute major roles to jets in powering most CCSNe and in shaping their ejecta. I start with …

Abstract Using Athena++, we perform 3D radiation-hydrodynamic calculations of the
radiative breakout of the shock wave in the outer envelope of a red supergiant (RSG) that …

Research into the cosmic synthesis of the elements, the evolution and explosion of stars, the
nature of the early Universe, and other important topics in nuclear astrophysics are at the …

We present the state-of-the-art single-zone nuclear reaction network WinNet, which is
capable of calculating the nucleosynthetic yields of a large variety of astrophysical …
