A two-parameter criterion for classifying the explodability of massive stars by the neutrino-driven mechanism

T Ertl, HT Janka, SE Woosley, T Sukhbold… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Hydrodynamics of core-collapse supernovae and their progenitors
