Scientific paper

Hydrodynamic instabilities -- of convective nature or based on the actionof a vortical-acoustic cycle or pressure-wave amplification -- in theneutrino-heated postshock layer during the phase of shock stagnation cangrow to global asymmetries of neutrino-driven supernova explosions. Thetalk discusses the status of the numerical modeling andthe possible implications of these instabilities for pulsar kicks andobservable anisotropies of core-collapse supernovae. Inparticular, simulations are presented which demonstrate that majorobservational properties of SN 1987A may be explained by such instabilitieswithout invoking rapid rotation in the core of the exploding star.
