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 …

Like all true stars, massive stars are gravitationally confined thermonuclear reactors whose
composition evolves as energy is lost to radiation and neutrinos. Unlike lower-mass stars …

Abstract The Einstein Telescope (ET), a proposed European ground-based gravitational-
wave detector of third-generation, is an evolution of second-generation detectors such as …

How massive stars die—what sort of explosion and remnant each produces—depends
chiefly on the masses of their helium cores and hydrogen envelopes at death. For single …

Using a two-dimensional hydrodynamics code (PROMETHEUS), we explore the continued
evolution of rotating helium stars, M α≳ 10 M⊙, in which iron-core collapse does not …

We investigate how current and proposed observations of neutron stars can lead to an
understanding of the state of their interiors and the key unknowns: the typical neutron star …

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 …

ABSTRACT A variety of current models of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) suggest a common
engine: a black hole of several solar masses accreting matter from a disk at a rate of 0.01 to …

We present the first calculations to follow the evolution of all stable nuclei and their
radioactive progenitors in stellar models computed from the onset of central hydrogen …

We examine the stability of standing, spherical accretion shocks. Accretion shocks arise in
core-collapse supernovae (the focus of this paper), star formation, and accreting white …
