Burrows will study theoretically the formation of a neutron star                and of a supernova explosion.  Emphasis rests on the creation and               emission of neutrinos, as observed from supernova 1987A, and on                 the effect of convection enhancing the shock causing the                        supernova explosion.                                                                                                                                            Supernovae are rare stellar explosions of such magnitude that                   they have influenced the formation of most stars, including the                 Sun, and the formation of the elements that today form the Earth                and living matter.  The supernova observed this year in the Large               Magellanic Cloud was not only the nearest in the last three                     centuries but the first to yield detectable neutrinos, the                      elusive particles that can escape from deep inside a star.  The                 neutrinos provide a new "window" for studying these exploding                   stars.  This award supports the theoretical study of the                        explosion that leads to a supernova.  Of special interest is the                behavior of the neutrinos, not only because some are observed but               also because neutrinos provide the essential force that drives                  the explosion.
