A review is given of various theoretical approaches for the equation of state (EoS) of dense
matter, relevant for the description of core-collapse supernovae, compact stars, and compact …

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 …

We calculate the gravitational-wave (GW) signatures of detailed three-dimensional (3D) core-
collapse supernova simulations spanning a range of massive stars. Most of the simulations …

Strong constraints on the cosmic star formation history (SFH) have recently been established
using ultraviolet and far-infrared measurements, refining the results of numerous …

The r-process, or the rapid neutron-capture process, of stellar nucleosynthesis is called for to
explain the production of the stable (and some long-lived radioactive) neutron-rich nuclides …

The physics of neutron star crusts is vast, involving many different research fields, from
nuclear and condensed matter physics to general relativity. This review summarizes the …

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 …

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 …

We present results from a self-consistent, non-rotating core-collapse supernova simulation
in three spatial dimensions using a binary evolution progenitor model of SN 1987A. This …

We present results of three-dimensional (3D), radiation-magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)
simulations of core-collapse supernovae in full general relativity (GR) with spectral neutrino …
