The\nimportant role of neutrino cooling for the now more rapid and qualitatively different stellar evolution is\nemphasized. The connection between stellar properties, such as mass and metallicity, and observational\nclassifications are discussed in the context of the supernova that results.\nThe course further treats the physics of supernova explosions, and how advanced computer simulations have\nimproved our understanding of these. We review the fundamental processes forming the light curve and\nspectra of the supernova, and diagnostic methods to determine the structure of the ejecta. Results from theory\nand observations are combined to describe the landscape of successful explosions versus failed ones leading\nto black hole formation, and associations between different stellar classes and supernova types.\nGamma ray bursts are reviewed, and the connection of these to the most massive and rapidly rotating stars in\nthe Universe is discussed. We study also briefly exotic transients such as superluminous supernovae and\nkilonovae. Learnining outcomes: - describe the star's late evolutionary stages, both on microphysical and macrocopic scales, as\nwell as the connection between stellar properties and observational classes.\n- use publicly available software to make simulations of a star’s evolution, and analyse how\nchanged assumptions affect the evolution.\n- account for the different phases in a supernova explosion, observational properties of supernovae, and\nclassifications based on these properties.\n- deduce and apply analytic formulae to estimate the physical parameters of a supernova from observed light\ncurves and spectra.\n- describe fundamental phenomenology of gamma-ray bursts, models for their emission processes, and\nrelation to the central engine.\n- couple together results from observations, simulations, and theory to differentiate between well established\nand more speculative properties of massive stars, supernovae, and gamma ray bursts.\n- argue for the origin of each element in the periodic table." . .
