报告摘要：I will review the properties of a variety of Supernovae, focussing on the determination of their properties and those of the progenitor stars from the theoretical simulation of observational data. In particular, I will address the properties of Type Ia Supernovae, the determination of which is essential for reliable cosmological studied, and those of the stripped-envelope SNe (Ib/c) which are sometimes seen in connection with Gamma-Ray Bursts and X-ray Flashes and provide an insight into the inner workings of the collapse of the core, the birth of a compact remnant and the possible engine which is thereby created. Finally, I will briefly touch on the new evidence which has been gathered for the existence of other avenues to stellar explosion.
