abstract
A statistical model for the equation of state (EOS) and the composition of supernova matter is presented with focus on the liquid-gas phase transition of nuclear matter. It consists of an ensemble of nuclei and interacting nucleons in nuclear statistical equilibrium. A relativistic mean field model is applied for the nucleons. The masses of the nuclei are taken from nuclear structure calculations which are based on the same nuclear Lagrangian. For known nuclei experimental data is used directly. Excluded volume effects are implemented in a thermodynamic consistent way so that the transition to uniform nuclear matter at large densities can be described. Thus the model can be applied at all densities relevant for supernova simulations, i.e. rho=10^5 - 10^15 g/cm^3, and it is possible to calculate a complete supernova EOS table. The model allows to investigate the role of shell effects, which lead to narrow-peaked distributions around the neutron magic numbers for low temperatures. At larger temperatures the distributions become broad. The significance of the statistical treatment and the nuclear distributions for the composition is shown. We find that the contribution of light clusters is very important and is only poorly represented by alpha-particles alone. The results for the EOS are systematically compared to two commonly used models for supernova matter which are based on the single nucleus approximation. Apart from the composition, in general only small differences of the different EOSs are found. The differences are most pronounced around the (low-density) liquid-gas phase transition line where the distribution of light and intermediate clusters has an important effect. Possible extensions and improvements of the model are discussed.

Lambda hyperons equilibrate rapidly in post-collapse proto-neutron stars through nonleptonic NN to N Lambda processes and enhance low-energy muon neutrino opacities beyond nucleonic contributions.
High-resolution GR neutrino-radiation MHD simulation of 1.35-1.35 Msun BNS merger shows KHI-driven B-field amplification to magnetar levels (~10^50 erg, factor >=316) in 3 ms post-merger.
Including multineutron states in supernova equations of state reduces unbound neutron fractions, raises proton chemical potentials, promotes heavier nuclei, and lowers overall free energy in neutron-rich conditions.
Future CE+ET detectors may detect lensed BNS kilonovae at ~0.5/yr via pointed follow-up of known galaxy lenses, while lensed sGRBs and afterglows remain rare or undetectable with current-generation facilities.
Relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations of charged-current neutrino opacities reveal large discrepancies and a substantial shift in medium-dependent modifications compared to standard relativistic mean-field models.
A grid-based multi-grid Poisson solver is implemented in numerical relativity, tested on puncture black holes and neutron stars, and used in a neutrino-radiation hydrodynamics simulation of 9 solar mass star collapse up to core bounce with high conservation accuracy.
Neutrino light curves from neutron stars may show an enhanced peak-to-plateau ratio, a density-tracing delay, and transient spectral hardening as diagnostics of hadron-quark phase transitions on 10-50 ms timescales.
Inelastic neutrino-electron scattering in hypermassive neutron star simulations increases disc mass by 75% and ejecta mass by 18% with higher neutrino luminosities, while electron-positron annihilation shows no significant impact.
