Advances in Multi-Dimensional Simulation of Core-Collapse Supernovae
Abstract
We discuss recent advances in the radiative-hydrodynamic modeling of core collapse supernovae in multi-dimensions. A number of earlier attempts at fully radiation-hydrodynamic models utilized either the grey approximation to describe the neutrino distribution or utilized more sophisticated multigroup transport methods restricted to radial rays. In both cases these models have also neglected the O(v/c) terms that couple the radiation and matter strongly in the optically thick regions of the collapsed core. In this paper we present some recent advances that resolve some shortcomings of earlier models.
