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

Systematic features of axisymmetric neutrino-driven core-collapse supernova models in multiple progenitors
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of two-dimensional core-collapse supernova simulations employing neutrino transport scheme by the isotropic diffusion source approximation is presented, showing that these explosion characteristics tend to show a monotonic increase as a function of the compactness parameter ξ.

The jet feedback mechanism (jfm) in stars, galaxies and clusters
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence jets and the bubbles they inflate might have on their ambient gas as they operate through a negative jet feedback mechanism (JFM), which is still a theoretical suggestion.

Characterizing the Gravitational Wave Signal from Core-collapse Supernovae
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the gravitational wave signal from eight 3D core-collapse supernova simulations and showed that the signal is dominated by $f$-and $g$-mode oscillations of the protoneutron star and its frequency evolution encodes the contraction rate of the latter, which, in turn, is known to depend on the star's mass, on the equation of state, and on transport properties in warm nuclear matter.

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.

TL;DR: The nu p process as mentioned in this paper is a nucleosynthesis process that occurs in supernovae (and possibly gamma-ray bursts) when strong neutrino fluxes create proton-rich ejecta.
