Hans Bethe contributed in many ways to our understanding of the supernovae that happen in massive stars, but, to this day, a first principles model of how the explosion is energized is lacking. Nevertheless, a quantitative theory of nucleosynthesis is possible. We present a survey of the nucleosynthesis that occurs in 32 stars of solar metallicity in the mass range 12 to 120 solar masses. The most recent set of solar abundances, opacities, mass loss rates, and current estimates of nuclear reaction rates are employed. Restrictions on the mass cut and explosion energy of the supernovae based upon nucleosynthesis, measured neutron star masses, and light curves are discussed and applied. The nucleosynthetic results, when integrated over a Salpeter initial mass function (IMF), agree quite well with what is seen in the sun. We discuss in some detail the production of the long lived radioactivities, 26Al and 60Fe, and why recent model-based estimates of the ratio 60Fe/26Al are overly large compared with what satellites have observed. A major source of the discrepancy is the uncertain nuclear cross sections for the creation and destruction of these unstable isotopes.

  1. SN 2020bij and a Possible Slow-Rise High-Velocity Subclass of Type IIP Supernovae

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    SN 2020bij and four other Type IIP SNe with slow-rising light curves and high velocities are modeled with weak to no CSM interaction, suggesting a new subclass linked to confined CSM.

  2. Universal relations applied to proto-neutron star generated gravitational waves from three-dimensional core collapse supernova simulations

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Against four Chimera core-collapse supernova simulations, most published universal relations for proto-neutron-star oscillations track the simulated gravitational-wave peak frequencies only during short post-bounce intervals.

  3. Parameter Estimation Horizon of Core-Collapse Supernovae with Current and Next-Generation Gravitational-Wave Detectors

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Machine learning extracts core rotation and signal properties from CCSN gravitational waves, with next-generation detectors constraining rotation beyond 100 kpc for favorable orientations despite some uncertainties.

  4. Toward More Realistic Machine-Learning Inference of the Dense-Matter Equation of State from Supernova Gravitational Waves

    astro-ph.HE 2026-03 conditional novelty 4.5 of 10

    Real detector noise, multi-progenitor diversity, and 20 ms bounce-time uncertainty leave EOS classification accuracy from CCSN GWs largely intact; larger datasets improve it.

  5. Parameter Estimation Horizon of Core-Collapse Supernovae with a Network of Gravitational-Wave Detectors

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A CNN can recover supernova peak frequency out to about 30 kpc and rotation/amplitude out to 200-250 kpc with current networks, extending to roughly 300 kpc and 2-2.5 Mpc with third-generation detectors.

  6. SN 2022xus: bridging the gap between Type IIP and IIL supernovae

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    SN 2022xus is a transitional Type II supernova with a 94.8-day plateau, a decline rate of 1.23 mag per 100 days, mixed IIP/IIL spectral features, and a likely 12-15 solar-mass progenitor.

  7. SN 2025aico: Early observations of a faint Type IIb supernova with a low-mass envelope

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    SN 2025aico is a low-luminosity Type IIb from a compact He star (M_env≈0.01 M⊙, R_env≈6–10 R⊙) with M_Ni≈0.033 M⊙, M_ej≈2.8 M⊙ and weak-to-moderate 56Ni mixing.

  8. SN 2023rve: A Type II Supernova with No Nebular Oxygen

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    SN 2023rve exhibits absent [O I] nebular lines with inferred 14-18 solar mass progenitor, 0.27e51 erg explosion energy, and 0.0064 solar mass nickel, possibly indicating partial fallback.
