Abstract

An overview of the relationship between the astrophysics of supernovae and fundamental physics is given. It is shown how astronomical observations of supernovae are used to determine the parameters of matter in the most rarefied states (“dark energy”); it is also revealed that the mechanism of supernovae explosion is related to the properties of matter in the densest states. The distinction between thermonuclear and collapsing supernovae is explained. Some problems that arise in the theory of powerful cosmic explositions—supernovae and gamma-ray bursts—and which require new physics for solving them are indicated.
