Abstract
Multi-dimensional simulations of advanced nuclear burning stages of massive stars suggest that the Si/O layers of presupernova stars harbor large deviations from the spherical symmetry typically assumed for presupernova stellar structure. We carry out three-dimensional core-collapse supernova simulations with and without aspherical velocity perturbations to assess their potential impact on the supernova hydrodynamics in the stalled-shock phase. Our results show that realistic perturbations can qualitatively alter the postbounce evolution, triggering an explosion in a model that fails to explode without them. This finding underlines the need for a multi-dimensional treatment of the presupernova stage of stellar evolution.

Physics of Core-Collapse Supernovae in Three Dimensions: a Sneak Preview

TL;DR: The first successful neutrino-driven supernova explosion was obtained with self-consistent, first-principle simulations in three spatial dimensions (3D).

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

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify two parameters computed from the pre-collapse structure of the progenitor, which in combination allow for a clear separation of exploding and non-exploding cases with only few exceptions (1.5%) in a set of 621 investigated stellar models.

Supernova neutrinos: production, oscillations and detection

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the capability of current and planned large underground neutrino detectors to yield faithful information of the time and flavor dependent neutrinos signal from a future Galactic supernova.

Physics of Core-Collapse Supernovae in Three Dimensions: a Sneak Preview

TL;DR: The first successful neutrino-driven supernova explosion was obtained with self-consistent, first-principles simulations in three spatial dimensions as discussed by the authors, where 3D turbulence leads to energy cascading from large to small spatial scales, thus disfavoring the growth of buoyant plumes on the largest scales.

Presupernova Evolution of Massive Single and Binary Stars

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the main sequence stage offers the best opportunity to gauge the relevance of the various possible evolutionary scenarios, and sketching the post-main-sequence evolution of massive stars, for which observations of Wolf Rayet stars give essential clues.
