On the Explosion Mechanism of SNe Type Ia

Astrophysics 2009-12-30 v1

Abstract

In this article we discuss the first simulations of two- and three-dimensional Type Ia supernovae with an improved hydrodynamics code. After describing the various enhancements, the obtained results are compared to those of earlier code versions, observational data and the findings of other researchers in this field.
