From supernovae to neutron stars
Abstract
The gravitational collapse, bounce, the explosion of an iron core of an 11.2 star is simulated by two-dimensional neutrino-radiation hydrodynamic code. The explosion is driven by the neutrino heating aided by multi-dimensional hydrodynamic effects such as the convection. Following the explosion phase, we continue the simulation focusing on the thermal evolution of the protoneutron star up to 70 s when the crust of the neutron star is formed using one-dimensional simulation. We find that the crust forms at high-density region ( g cm) and it would proceed from inside to outside. This is the first self-consistent simulation that successfully follows from the collapse phase to the protoneutron star cooling phase based on the multi-dimensional hydrodynamic simulation.
