The focus of supernova theory is now on the sub- sequent behavior of this quasi-steady accretion shock on timescales of tens of milliseconds to seconds. The essence of a supernova explosion is the transfer of energy from the core to the mantle. The mantle is less bound than the core, ...
Core collapsesupernovaeare the leading actor in the story of the cosmic origin of the chemical elements. Existing models, which generally assume spherical symmetry and parameterize the explosion, have been able to broadly replicate the observed elemental pattern. However, inclusion of neutrino interacti...
We present results of p-process nucleosynthesis in core collapse supernovae (SNe). We focus on the influence of different explosion energies and metallicities on p-process yields. We find that overproduction factors have a strong sensitivity on peak temperatures and that the distribution of ...
supernova theory is now moving towards a more integrated view that connects multi-dimensional phenomena in the late convective burning stages prior to collapse, the explosion engine, and mixing instabilities in the supernova envelope. Here we review our current understanding of multi-D fluid flow in...
. This scenario is well supported by the observations of SN IIP progenitors in pre-explosion images, which have been shown to be RSGs with 8.5 M⊙ . Mini . 16.5 M⊙ (Smartt et al. 2009). The agreement between theory and observations of SN progenitors is much less satisfactory for stars...
We give an overview of the challenges and the current status of our two-dimensional (core collapse) supernova modelling, and present the system of equations and the algorithm for its solution that are employed in our code Vertex. We also discuss the para
), which enables one to apply to supernova simulations. Our framework is based on the RMF theory with the parameter set TM1 [17], which was used to derive the EOS table by Shen et al. [16], and is extended to include hyperons ...
Like other 3D studies, we find E()∝1 in the "inertial range," while theory and local simulations argue for E()∝5/3. We argue that current 3D simulations do not resolve the inertial range of turbulence and are affected by numerical viscosity up to the energy containing scale, creating ...
More than four decades have elapsed since modeling of the core collapse supernova mechanism began in earnest. To date, the mechanism remains illusive, at least in detail, although significant progress has been made in understanding these multi-scale, multi-physics events. One-, two-, and three...
