Recent developments in multi-dimensional simulations of core-collapse supernovae have considerably improved our understanding of this complex phenomenon. In addition to that, one-dimensional (1D) studies have been employed to study the explosion mechanism and its causal connection to the pre-collapse structure of the star, as well as to explore the vast parameter space of supernovae. Nonetheless, many uncertainties still affect the late stages of the evolution of massive stars, their collapse, and the subsequent shock propagation. In this review, we will briefly summarize the state-of-the-art of both 1D and 3D simulations and how they can be employed to study the evolution of massive stars, supernova explosions, and shock propagation, focusing on the uncertainties that affect each of these phases. Finally, we will illustrate the typical nucleosynthesis products that emerge from the explosion.

  1. Flavomons in Matter Gradients: Ray Tracing and Amplitude Evolution

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Matter gradients slow but do not suppress neutrino-mass-induced flavor instabilities, so flavomon ray tracing is required instead of local stability analysis alone.

  2. Flavomons in Matter Gradients: Ray Tracing and Amplitude Evolution

    hep-ph 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0

    A WKB ray-tracing framework shows that supernova matter gradients sweep flavomons through the unstable wavenumber range, strongly limiting slow-instability growth below the shock while leaving growth outside it largel...

  3. Bifurcated Impact of Neutrino Fast Flavor Conversion on Core-collapse Supernovae Informed by Multi-angle Neutrino Radiation Hydrodynamics

    astro-ph.HE 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.

  4. Explodability matters: how realistic neutrino-driven explosions change explosive nucleosynthesis yields

    astro-ph.HE 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Realistic 1D neutrino-driven explosions produce lower Fe-peak yields and different lighter-element patterns than piston or bomb models, with explodability driving discrepancies across FRANEC, KEPLER, and MESA progenitors.
