One of the longstanding issues in numerical relativity is to enable a simulation taking account of microphysical processes (e.g., weak interactions and neutrino cooling). We develop an approximate and explicit scheme in the fully general…

We investigate the evolution of magnetized protoneutron stars (PNSs) through four schematic stages: neutrino trapped, deleptonization, neutrino transparent, and the final cold, catalyzed neutron star (NS). Using a quasi static approximation…
