Comparison of the Core-collapse Evolution of Two Nearly Equal-mass Progenitors

We compare the core-collapse evolution of a pair of 15.8 M _☉ stars with significantly different internal structures, a consequence of the bimodal variability exhibited by massive stars during their late evolutionary stages. The 15.78 and 15.79 M _☉ progenitors have core masses (masses interior to a...
