Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) mark the deaths of stars more massive than about eight
times the mass of the Sun and are intrinsically the most common kind of catastrophic cosmic …

To place core-collapse supernovae (SNe) in context with the evolution of massive stars, it is
necessary to determine their stellar origins. I describe the direct identification of SN …

We present preexplosion optical and infrared (IR) imaging at the site of the type II supernova
(SN II) 2023ixf in Messier 101 at 6.9 Mpc. We astrometrically registered a ground-based …

Over the last 15 years, the supernova community has endeavoured to directly identify
progenitor stars for core-collapse supernovae discovered in nearby galaxies. These …

High-quality collections of Type II supernova (SN) light curves are scarce because they
evolve for hundreds of days, making follow-up observations time consuming and often …

We present an analysis of the diversity of V-band light-curves of hydrogen-rich type II
supernovae. Analyzing a sample of 116 supernovae, several magnitude measurements are …

We analyse the observed fractions of core-collapse supernova (SN) types from the Lick
Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS), and we discuss the corresponding implications for …

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 …

The progenitors of many Type II core-collapse supernovae (SNe) have now been identified
directly on pre-discovery imaging. Here, we present an extensive search for the progenitors …

We present four ab initio axisymmetric core-collapse supernova simulations initiated from
12, 15, 20, and 25${M} _ {\odot} $ zero-age main sequence progenitors. All of the …
