Massive stars end their lives in fiery explosions and are manifest
as core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) or gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In
rare cases, a highly stripped massive star explodes and exhibits
properties of both CCSNe and GRBs. In contrast, there are clear
cases in which no bright supernova is found to be associated with a
GRB, and vice versa. The quest in understanding supernovae and
GRBs, and the connection between them, has raised many questions.
Since the elements synthesized in the explosion of massive stars
are the building blocks for much of the visible Universe, it is
important to understand the life cycle of these massive stars. IAU
Symposium 279 brings together international leaders who study CCSNe
and GRBs to discuss their environments and hosts, progenitors, and
subsequent explosions, as well as multiwavelength observations of
these objects and their implications as cosmological probes,
particularly in the very early Universe.
