Recent experimental data and progress in nuclear structure modeling have led to improved
descriptions of astrophysically important weak-interaction processes. This review discusses …

Gravitational-wave emission from stellar collapse has been studied for nearly four decades.
Current state-of-the-art numerical investigations of collapse include those that use …

We present results for a suite of 14 three-dimensional, high-resolution hydrodynamical
simulations of delayed-detonation models of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) explosions. This …

We present an implementation of stellar evolution and chemical feedback for smoothed
particle hydrodynamics simulations. We consider the timed release of individual elements by …

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 …

Almost all of the elements heavier than hydrogen that are present in our solar system were
produced by nuclear burning processes either in the early universe or at some point in the …

The astrophysical nature of r-process sites is a long-standing mystery and many probable
sources have been suggested, among them lower-mass core-collapse supernovae (in the …

We present 2D hydrodynamics simulations of near-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf (WD)
models for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) using the turbulent deflagration model with a …

We explore the idea that the observed variations in the peak luminosities of Type Ia
supernovae (SNe Ia) originate in part from a scatter in metallicity of the main-sequence stars …

Supernova simulations to date have assumed that during core collapse electron captures
occur dominantly on free protons, while captures on heavy nuclei are Pauli blocked and are …
