We investigate neutrino-driven convection in core collapse supernovae and its ramifications for the explosion mechanism, for a 15 solar mass model. Our two-dimensional simulation begins at 12 ms after bounce and proceeds for 500 ms. We…
To date, modern three-dimensional (3D) supernova (SN) simulations have not demonstrated that explosion energies of 10^{51} erg (=1 bethe = 1B) or more are possible for neutrino-driven SNe of non/slow-rotating M < 20 solar-mass progenitors.…

Core-collapse supernova explosions are driven by a central engine that converts a small fraction of the gravitational binding energy released during core collapse to outgoing kinetic energy. The suspected mode for this energy conversion is…
