Supernovae, their bearing on cosmology and their connection to
gamma-ray bursts are now at the center of astrophysical research
programs. This volume deals with astronomical observations of
supernovae and their relation to nuclear and particle
astrophysics. All known aspects of supernovae explosions are
investigated in articles specifically written for researchers and
advanced graduate students. It also includes recent numerical
"experiments" related to the question of hydrodynamical
instability in two and three dimensions and to problems
concerning the complexity of radiation transport in the models.
Other contributions discuss the possible energy sources needed to
drive these powerful stellar explosions.
