Asymmetries in Stellar Collapse
ORAL
Abstract
The observational evidence for asymmetries in stellar collapse has been growing dramatically since astronomers found a correlation between gamma-ray bursts and some type Ib/c supernovae. Here I review some of the mechanisms behind these asymmetries. I will argue that most stellar collapse explosions produce mild asymmetries and will show evidence and compare these mildly asymmetric explosions to observations.
