Evolution of the main observables in core-collapse supernova events: a radiation-hydrodynamical modelling

With the aim of clarifying the nature of the supernova events from stars having initial (at the main sequence) masses larger than $\sim 8$-$10\,M_{\odot}$, we have developed a specifically tailored radiation hydrodynamics Lagrangian code, that enables us to simulate the evolution of the main observables (light curve, evolution of photospheric velocity and temperature) in these events. The code features and some test-case simulations as well as the possible applications of the code are briefly discussed.
