Measuring the rotation of core-collapse supernovae (SN) and of their progenitor stars is extremely challenging. Here it is demonstrated that neutrinos may potentially be employed as stellar gyroscopes, if phases of activity by the standing…

I suggest that the recently observed hot-dust elongated structure that likely engulfs the neutron star (NS) remnant of supernova (SN) 1987A was shaped by jets that the NS launched shortly after it acquired its natal kick velocity. I take…

We have been working within the fundamental paradigm that core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) may be neutrino driven, since the first suggestion of this by Colgate and White nearly five decades ago. Computational models have become…
