TLDR
The neutrino-heating mechanism, aided by nonradial flows, drives explosions, albeit low-energy ones, of ONeMg-core and some Fe-core progenitors as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
Supernova theory, numerical and analytic, has made remarkable progress in the past decade. This progress was made possible by more sophisticated simulation tools, especially for neutrino transport, improved microphysics, and deeper insights into the role of hydrodynamic instabilities. Violent, large-scale nonradial mass motions are generic in supernova cores. The neutrino-heating mechanism, aided by nonradial flows, drives explosions, albeit low-energy ones, of ONeMg-core and some Fe-core progenitors. The characteristics of the neutrino emission from new-born neutron stars were revised, new features of the gravitational-wave signals were discovered, our notion of supernova nucleosynthesis was shattered, and our understanding of pulsar kicks and explosion asymmetries was significantly improved. But simulations also suggest that neutrino-powered explosions might not explain the most energetic supernovae and hypernovae, which seem to demand magnetorotational driving. Now that modeling is being advanced from two to three dimensions, more realism, new perspectives, and hopefully answers to long-standing questions are coming into reach.read more

Neutrino-induced reactions in core-collapse supernovae: Effects on the electron fraction
TL;DR: The existence of neutrino oscillations affects the rate of nuclear electroweak decays, which is a basic ingredient in astrophysical processes like star evolution as mentioned in this paper, and neutrinos are a fundamental ingredient in star evolution.

Gravitational instability caused by the weight of heat
TL;DR: The core formed during a core-collapse supernova is subject to the relativistic gravothermal instability, if it becomes sufficiently hot and compactified at the time of the bounce, in this case it will continue to collapse towards the formation of a black hole.

Hyper-Accreting Black Holes and Gamma-Ray Bursts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a numerical model for relativistic disk accretion to study steady-state accretion at high rates of gamma-ray burst (GRB) and found that neutrino annihilation in hyper-accreting black hole systems can explain bursts up to 10**52 erg.
