The Explosion Mechanism of Core-Collapse Supernovae and Its Observational Signatures
The death of massive stars is shrouded in many mysteries. One of them is the
mechanism that overturns the collapse of the degenerate iron core into an
explosion, a process that determines the supernova explosion energy, properties
of the surviving compact remnant, and the nucleosynthetic yields. The number of
core-collapse supernova observations has been growing with an accelerating pace
thanks to modern time-domain astronomical surveys and new tests of the
explosion mechanism are becoming possible. We review predictions of
parameterized supernova explosion models and compare them with explosion
properties inferred from observed light curves, spectra, and neutron star
masses.Comment: Reviews in Frontiers of Modern Astrophysics; From Space Debris to

Current status of NLTE analysis of stellar atmospheres
Various available codes for NLTE modeling and analysis of hot star spectra
are reviewed. Generalizations of standard equations of kinetic equilibrium and
their consequences are discussed.Comment: in Determination of Atmospheric Parameters of B-, A-, F- and G-Type
