摘要

Stars of ～ 8-100 M⊙ end their lives as core-collapse supernovae (SNe).In the process they emit a powerful burst of neutrinos,produce a variety of elements,and leave behind either a neutron star or a black hole.The wide mass range for SN progenitors results in diverse neutrino signals,explosion energies,and nucleosynthesis products.A major mechanism to produce nuclei heavier than iron is rapid neutron capture,or the r process.This process may be connected to SNe in several ways.A brief review is presented on current understanding of neutrino emission,explosion,and nucleosynthesis of SNe.
