Description
A number of supernova engines are thought to contribute to the growing menagerie of transients produced by stellar collapse. Gamma-ray observations of the decay of radioactive isotopes provide one of the most direct probe of these engines with the potential to not only distinguish between different engines but also probe the nature of specific engines. Here I review the differences in the engines as well as the radioactive isotope yield predictions (and their uncertainties) from these different engines.
