The rapidly growing base of observational data for supernova explosions of massive stars demands theoretical explanations. Central of these is a self-consistent model for the physical mechanism that provides the energy to start and drive the disruption of the star. We give arguments why the delayed neutrino-heating mechanism should still be regarded as the standard paradigm to explain most explosions of massive stars and show how large-scale and even global asymmetries can result as a natural consequence of convective overturn in the neutrino-heating region behind the supernova shock. Since the explosion is a threshold phenomenon and depends sensitively on the efficiency of the energy transfer by neutrinos, even relatively minor differences in numerical simulations can matter on the secular timescale of the delayed mechanism. To enhance this point, we present some results of recent one- and two-dimensional computations, which we have performed with a Boltzmann solver for the neutrino transport and a state-of-the-art description of neutrino-matter interactions. Although our most complete models fail to explode, the simulations demonstrate that one is encouragingly close to the critical threshold because a modest variation of the neutrino transport in combination with postshock convection leads to a weak neutrino-driven explosion with properties that fulfill important requirements from observations.

How do massive stars explode? Progress toward the answer is driven by increases in compute power. Petascale supercomputers are enabling detailed three-dimensional simulations of core-collapse supernovae. These are elucidating the role of fluid instab
ilities, turbulence, and magnetic field amplification in supernova engines.
We investigate the possibility of a super-luminous Type Ic core-collapse supernovae producing a large amount of 56Ni. Very massive stars with a main-sequence mass larger than 100 Msun and a metallicity 0.001 < Z < 0.004 are expected to explode as sup
er-luminous Type Ic supernovae. Stars with ~ 110 - 150 Msun and Z < 0.001 would explode as Type Ic pulsational pair-instability supernovae if the whole H and He layers has been lost by the mass loss during pulsational pair-instability. We evaluate the total ejecta mass and the yields of 56Ni, O, and Si in core-collapse supernovae evolved from very massive stars. We adopt 43.1 and 61.1 Msun WO stars with Z=0.004 as supernova progenitors expected to explode as Type Ic core-collapse supernovae. These progenitors have masses of 110 and 250 Msun at the zero-age main sequence. Spherical explosions with an explosion energy larger than 2e52 erg produce more than 3.5 Msun 56Ni, enough to reproduce the light curve of SN 2007bi. Asphericity of the explosion affects the total ejecta mass as well as the yields of 56Ni, O, and Si. Aspherical explosions of the 110 and 250 Msun models reproduce the 56Ni yield of SN 2007bi. These explosions will also show large velocity dispersion. An aspherical core-collapse supernova evolved from a very massive star is a possibility of the explosion of SN 2007bi.
We present measurements of the local core collapse supernova (SN) rate using SN discoveries from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We use a Monte Carlo simulation of hundreds of millions of SN light curve realizations coupled with the detailed PTF
survey detection efficiencies to forward-model the SN rates in PTF. Using a sample of 86 core collapse SNe, including 26 stripped-envelope SNe (SESNe), we show that the overall core collapse SN volumetric rate is $r^mathrm{CC}_v=9.10_{-1.27}^{+1.56}times10^{-5},text{SNe yr}^{-1},text{Mpc}^{-3}, h_{70}^{3}$ at $ langle z rangle = 0.028$, and the SESN volumetric rate is $r^mathrm{SE}_v=2.41_{-0.64}^{+0.81}times10^{-5}, text{SNe yr}^{-1},text{Mpc}^{-3}, h_{70}^{3}$. We further measure a volumetric rate for hydrogen-free superluminous SNe (SLSNe-I) using 8 events at $z{le}0.2$ of $r^mathrm{SLSN-I}_v=35_{-13}^{+25}, text{SNe yr}^{-1}text{Gpc}^{-3}, h_{70}^{3}$, which represents the most precise SLSN-I rate measurement to date. Using a simple cosmic star-formation history to adjust these volumetric rate measurements to the same redshift, we measure a local ratio of SLSN-I to SESN of $sim1/810^{+1500}_{-94}$, and of SLSN-I to all CCSN types of $sim 1/3500^{+2800}_{-720}$. However, using host galaxy stellar mass as a proxy for metallicity, we also show that this ratio is strongly metallicity dependent: in low-mass ($mathrm{log} M_{*} < 9.5 mathrm{M}_odot$) galaxies, which are the only environments that host SLSN-I in our sample, we measure a SLSN-I to SESN fraction of $1/300^{+380}_{-170}$ and $1/1700^{+1800}_{-720}$ for all CCSN. We further investigate the SN rates a function of host galaxy stellar mass and show that the specific rates of all core collapse SNe decrease with increasing stellar mass.
We investigate the action of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in the context of iron-core collapse. Exponential growth of the field on the rotation time scale by the MRI will dominate the linear growth process of field line wrapping with the s
ame characteristic time. We examine a variety of initial rotation states, with solid body rotation or a gradient in rotational velocity, that correspond to models in the literature. A relatively modest value of the initial rotation, a period of ~ 10 s, will give a very rapidly rotating PNS and hence strong differential rotation with respect to the infalling matter. We assume conservation of angular momentum on spherical shells. Results are discussed for two examples of saturation fields, a fiducial field that corresponds to Alfven velocity = rotational velocity and a field that corresponds to the maximum growing mode of the MRI. Modest initial rotation velocities of the iron core result in sub-Keplerian rotation and a sub-equipartition magnetic field that nevertheless produce substantial MHD luminosity and hoop stresses: saturation fields of order 10^{15} - 10^{16} G develop within 300 msec after bounce with an associated MHD luminosity of about 10^{52} erg/s. Bi-polar flows driven by this MHD power can affect or even cause the explosions associated with core-collapse supernovae.
An important result in core-collapse supernova (CCSN) theory is that spherically-symmetric, one-dimensional simulations routinely fail to explode, yet multi-dimensional simulations often explode. Numerical investigations suggest that turbulence eases
the condition for explosion, but how is not fully understood. We develop a turbulence model for neutrino-driven convection, and show that this turbulence model reduces the condition for explosions by about 30%, in concordance with multi-dimensional simulations. In addition, we identify which turbulent terms enable explosions. Contrary to prior suggestions, turbulent ram pressure is not the dominant factor in reducing the condition for explosion. Instead, there are many contributing factors, ram pressure being only one of them, but the dominant factor is turbulent dissipation (TD). Primarily, TD provides extra heating, adding significant thermal pressure, and reducing the condition for explosion. The source of this TD power is turbulent kinetic energy, which ultimately derives its energy from the higher potential of an unstable convective profile. Investigating a turbulence model in conjunction with an explosion condition enables insight that is difficult to glean from merely analyzing complex multi-dimensional simulations. An explosion condition presents a clear diagnostic to explain why stars explode, and the turbulence model allows us to explore how turbulence enables explosion. Though we find that turbulent dissipation is a significant contributor to successful supernova explosions, it is important to note that this work is to some extent qualitative. Therefore, we suggest ways to further verify and validate our predictions with multi-dimensional simulations.
