Supernovae: Neutrinos, Supernovae: Neutron Stars

Scientific paper

The manuscript reviews several nuclear physics aspects of relevance for supernova simulations. In particular, it stresses the role played by stellar weak interaction rates in the presupernova collapse and the recent progress achieved to calculate these rates based on large-scale shell model calculations. It further discusses the "hot neutrino bubble" above a newly formed neutron star in a type II supernova as the possible site of the nuclear r-process, pointing to several still open questions. Finally the possible role of neutrinos in this r-process scenario is investigated.
