Abstract
Core-collapse supernovae are dramatic events with a rich phenomenology, including gravitational radiation. Simulations of these events in multiple spatial dimensions with energy- and angle-dependent neutrino transport are still in their infancy. Core collapse and bounce in a supernova in our galaxy may well be visible by first-generation LIGO, but detailed understanding waits on improvements in modeling both stellar progenitors and the supernova process.
