Over a decade ago, a group of supernova explosions with peak luminosities far exceeding
(often by> 100 times) those of normal events has been identified. These superluminous …

Superluminous supernovae are a new class of supernovae that were recognized about a
decade ago. Both observational and theoretical progress has been significant in the last …

Nucleosynthesis, light curves, explosion energies, and remnant masses are calculated for a
grid of supernovae (SNe) resulting from massive stars with solar metallicity and masses from …

The mass distribution of neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes provides vital clues into
the nature of stellar core collapse and the physical engine responsible for supernova …

We show that energy deposited into an expanding supernova remnant by a highly magnetic
(B∼ 5× 10 14 G) neutron star spinning at an initial period of P i≈ 2–20 ms can substantially …

The r-process nucleosynthesis in core-collapse supernovae (CC-SNe) is studied, with a
focus on the explosion scenario induced by rotation and strong magnetic fields …

Literature data are collated for 38 stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SE SNe; ie
SNe IIb, Ib, Ic and Ic-BL) that have good light-curve coverage in more than one optical band …

Following an initial explosion that might be launched either by magnetic interactions or
neutrinos, a rotating magnetar radiating according to the classic dipole formula could power …

Tenuous wind bubbles, which are formed by the spin-down activity of central compact
remnants, are relevant in some models of fast radio bursts (FRBs) and superluminous …

This chapter describes the current classification scheme of supernovae (SNe). This scheme
has evolved over many decades and now includes numerous SN Types and sub-types …
