Popis: Star evolution at constant mass is typically considered as well defined, given initial mass and composition. However, in the stellar mass range of 8–10M⊙, large uncertainties — as to the treatment of convection and hydrodynamical burning, or that of electron captures — exist. They are the key to the issue whether electron captures induce star collapse or the star is disrupted by a deflagration. The final fate of the star strongly depends, therefore, on the adopted treatment for those problems. This paper is aimed at analyzing such a dependence.
