abstract
Nucleosynthesis, light curves, explosion energies, and remnant masses are calculated for a grid of supernovae resulting from massive stars with solar metallicity and masses from 9.0 to 120 solar masses. The full evolution is followed using an adaptive reaction network of up to 2000 nuclei. A novel aspect of the survey is the use of a one-dimensional neutrino transport model for the explosion. This explosion model has been calibrated to give the observed energy for SN 1987A, using several standard progenitors, and for the Crab supernova using a 9.6 solar mass progenitor. As a result of using a calibrated central engine, the final kinetic energy of the supernova is variable and sensitive to the structure of the presupernova star. Many progenitors with extended core structures do not explode, but become black holes, and the masses of exploding stars do not form a simply connected set. The resulting nucleosynthesis agrees reasonably well with the sun provided that a reasonable contribution from Type Ia supernovae is also allowed, but with a deficiency of light s-process isotopes. The resulting neutron star IMF has a mean gravitational mass near 1.4 solar masses. The average black hole mass is about 9 solar masses if only the helium core implodes, and 14 solar masses if the entire presupernova star collapses. Only ~10% of supernovae come from stars over 20 solar masses and some of these are Type Ib or Ic. Some useful systematics of Type IIp light curves are explored.

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.
MOFAT applied to SN2024ggi shows CO triggering inner SiO formation with a receding edge, order-of-magnitude mass drop, clumping signatures, and no dust formation.
Spectroscopic observations of six low-mass, metal-poor SLSN host galaxies reveal slow stellar-wind-driven outflows with velocities 37-104 km/s and mass-loading factors below 1 in the earliest phases of star formation.

COLIBRE simulations find the galaxy gas-phase MZR already in place at z≈10 with little evolution until z≈5, then shallowens at low z, with high-mass turnover set by AGN feedback and low-mass end by core-collapse supernovae.
Middle-aged PWNe exhibit diverse reverberation-phase evolution but converge to Sedov-like states; 2D instabilities increase apparent size by up to 50% without changing global dynamics, supporting 1D model robustness.
SN 2024abfl is a subluminous Type IIP event from a low-energy Fe-core collapse of a compact 9–10 M⊙ progenitor with only ~0.003 M⊙ of nickel.
Physics-based annual TSI reconstruction over three millennia yields a maximum difference of 1.04 W/m² in 50-year running means.

Nebular spectroscopy of low-luminosity Type IIP SNe from ZTF identifies two plausible ECSN candidates but derives an upper limit on the ECSN rate of ≲(5–8)×10² Gpc⁻³ yr⁻¹ implying a sAGB mass window narrower than 0.06 M⊙.
Late-time IR spectroscopy of SN 2024ggi shows varied line morphologies implying chemical inhomogeneity and aspherical ionization, with modeling favoring 12-15 solar mass progenitors but only high-mass energetic 3D simulations matching the observed Ni mixing extent.

Fast flavor conversion of neutrinos bifurcates supernova explosion outcomes: it aids shock revival in low-mass progenitors but inhibits it in higher-mass ones, controlled by mass accretion rate.
New VLT observations of He I* absorbers yield a primordial ³He/⁴He ratio of (1.15^{+0.24}_{-0.21})×10^{-4} consistent with standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis, plus an updated stellar yield scaling factor.
SCAT DR1 delivers 1810 spectra of 1330 transients with classifications, fitted light curves, new redshifts for many host galaxies, and host properties as a testbed for photometric classification pipelines.
Efficient mass transfer in binaries naturally limits the mass of the first-born black hole and produces a sharp drop above 45 solar masses that mimics the pair-instability gap.
For a low-mass CCSN progenitor, rotation alone weakly and non-monotonically affects explosion energy and observables; only the fastest spin yields T/|W| spiral modes and spin-kick alignment, with core spin amplified by ~4000.
Accretion laws with super-linear mass dependence produce divergent population evolution that broadens compact-object mass distributions and drives binary mass ratios toward unity, providing a pathway to massive gravitational-wave sources.
Chandra non-detection and heterogeneous RV data leave AzV 493's putative highly eccentric companion unconfirmed, with only L_X < 2.5e33 erg/s and conditional mass lower limits if RV variations are real.
