Abstract

In order to explore various aspects of stellar evolution, supernovae, gamma ray bursts, and nucleosynthesis, we have developed a new efficient stellar evolution code. In this paper, we describe this new code and compare the results with those calculated by the previous code. Specifically, we focus on the progenitor evolution of the lower end of Fe-core-collapse supernovae, and themass distribution of remnant neutron stars.We describe howdifferent assumptions will lead to different neutron star mass distributions.We also review some of the recent work by our research group.
