Description
Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) mark the death of massive stars greater than about 8 solar masses. They are the birthplaces of neutron stars and black
holes, as well as the factories of heavy elements. The physical mechanism(s) driving their explosions is a premier open problem in astrophysics. In this talk, I will first introduce recent global efforts in advanced computer simulations that enhance our understanding of how CCSNe explode. Next, I will discuss the theoretical predictions of CCSN neutrino signals and what we can learn from them.
