Core Collapse and Explosion: Theory

1. collapse
2. bounce
3. a miracle occurs
4. explosion!

Supernova Neutrinos: Theory

• neutronization
• thermal emission

Supernova Explosions Observed: Historical Supernovae

• SN1054: Chaco Canyon, New Mexico paintings ; Crab nebula optical, movie, from space
• SN1572 (Tycho): Tycho's sketch, present-day X-ray/optical/IR, movie
• SN1602 (Kepler): publication, finding chart, present view in X-rays

Supernova Explosions Observed: Extragalactic Supernovae

• SN 1994D
• SN 2014J
• SN 2016adj
• SN 2017eaw
• SN 2018ivc

Supernova Explosions Observed: SN 1987A

• before/after
• HST rings: time evolution
• neutrinos detected by Kamiokande
• progenitor
• explosion
• light curve: summarized in Bouchet+ (1991)
• light echos here and here
• rings: collision stills from HST, movies from HST, Chandra
• inner blast movie: HST
• ALMA 3D movie of dust and molecules
• neutrinos: detected by Kamiokande (Hirata+ 1987) and IMB (Bionta+ 1987) neutrino curve
• 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics:
  Masatoshi Koshiba and Kamiokande

Supernovae Observed: Remnants

• remanants -- Veil nebula: zoom out, in, and further in
• Heavy element synthesis: observed in Cas A; the circle, the circle of life; we are made of star-stuff

Supernova Nucleosynthesis

• modelling strategies
• explosive nucleosynthesis
• supernova yields: compared to solar (Sukhbold+ 2016)
• in context: Solar System abundances

Cosmic Core-Collapse Supernovae

• event rates
• diffuse supernova neutrino background
