Higher-Mach-number self-similar shock solutions in failed supernovae are unstable and strengthen asymptotically above a critical neutrino mass-loss threshold, explaining greater ejection in red supergiants versus compact progenitors.
SN 2020aze displays early He II emission from ejecta-CSM interaction, a steep V-band decline, and semi-analytical modeling yields a ~14 solar-mass red supergiant progenitor with ~12 solar-mass ejecta and 1.5e51 erg explosion energy.
N6946-BH1's remnant is roughly 10 times fainter than its progenitor while stellar merger remnants are 10-100 times brighter, and asymmetric dust cannot explain the difference.
SN 2025coe's double-peaked light curve and nebular spectra are consistent with either an asymmetric core-collapse explosion of a low-mass He-core progenitor or a thermonuclear hybrid white dwarf merger.
Lazuli is proposed as a space observatory combining flagship sensitivity with response times one to two orders of magnitude faster than current large facilities to enable new time-domain and multi-messenger science.
Perspective paper on the importance of circumstellar environments around evolved massive stars for supernova studies and the observational advances expected from the Square Kilometre Array.
A review chapter sketching the neutrino-driven mechanism for core-collapse supernovae, the importance of nuclear physics inputs, and multi-messenger signals.

On the Origin of Mass Ejection in Failed Supernovae
