The microphysical processes and the equation of state of hot nuclear matter are considered as well as the constraints they imply on dynamics. In this way both type-I and type-II supernovae are studied. Part of the book is devoted to numerical relativity: the different formalisms of general relativity are presented in order to follow both dynamics of matter and evolution of space-time through the entire collapse and to estimate gravitational waves emitted during collapse of a stellar core to a neutron star or black hole. Moreover, connected to the problem of collapse and the thermonuclear explosion processes, observations and models of X-ray bursts are presented and discussed.Read More
