Abstract

A brief account is given of the advanced evolutionary stagesof massive stars, from central C-burning up to the final supernova explosion.We describe the role of neutrino losses, the phases of C, Ne, O and Si burning,the Fe core collapse, current ideas on the supernova explosion, as well as theexplosive nucleosynthesis resulting from the passage of the shock wave.
