Abstract
A precise knowledge of the masses of supernova progenitors is essential to answer various questions of modern astrophysics, such as those related to the dynamical and chemical evolution of Galaxies. In this paper we revise the upper bound for the mass of the progenitors of CO white dwarfs and the lower bound for the mass of the progenitors of normal type II supernovae In particular, we present new stellar models with mass between 7 and 10 discussing their final destiny and the impact of recent improvements in our understanding of the low energy rate of the C C reaction.
