Résumé .- On considère le problème de l'effondrement des étoiles à la fin de leur évolution . Las étoiles à grande masse (M ~ 10 M„) vont vers leur effondrement ayant épuisé (dans leurs couches centrales au moins) leurs combustibles thermonu­ cléaires . L'explosion de leurs couches extérieures doit se produire par transfert de 1'énergie gravitationnelle du noyau . On examine les différents mécanismes qui ont été proposés, ainsi que les incertitudes qui s'y rattachent. Les étoiles aux masses plus petites (sauf celles qui finissent comme naines blanches) rencontrent des instabilités explosives par suite de la formation, dans leur intérieur, de noyauKdont la composante électronique est fortement dégénérée. Là, l'issue dépend de la compétition des captures électroniques avec les. réactions thermonucléaires . Les conditions les plus favorables à l'effondrement ont lieu dans les systèmes doubles. La solution du problème posé par l'effondrement des étoiles passe par une meilleure connaissance de l'équation d'état aux grandes densités, des taux des réactions nucléaires, de l'opacité de la matière aux , des régimes de combustion, des séparations de phase, de l'évolution des étoiles isolées et de celle des systèmes doubles rapprochés .
