Core-Collapse Supernovae at the Threshold

Astrophysics 2015-06-24 v1

Abstract

Recent progress in modeling core-collapse supernovae is summarized and set in perspective. Two-dimensional simulations with state-of-the-art treatment of neutrino transport still fail to produce powerful explosions, but evidence is presented that they are very close to success.
