Context. The influence of magnetic fields on stellar core collapse and explosion is not well explored. It depends on the possibility to amplify the pre-collapse fields. Without rotation this can happen by compression, convection, the…
The gravitational collapse of rapidly rotating massive stars can lead to the onset of the low $T/\|W\|$ instability within the central proto-neutron star (PNS), which leaves strong signatures in both the gravitational wave (GW) and neutrino…

The extraordinary energetic activity of magnetars is usually explained in terms of dissipation of a huge internal magnetic field of the order of $10^{15-16}$G. How such a strong magnetic field can originate during the formation of a neutron…
