We report on a set of long-term general-relativistic three-dimensional (3D) multi-group (energy-dependent) neutrino-radiation hydrodynamics simulations of core-collapse supernovae. We employ a full 3D two-moment scheme with the local M1…
The numerical simulation of turbulence in stars has led to a rich set of possibilities regarding stellar pulsations, asteroseismology, thermonuclear yields, and formation of neutron stars and black holes. The breaking of symmetry by…
We investigate the criteria for successful core-collapse supernova explosions by the neutrino mechanism. We find that a critical-luminosity/mass-accretion-rate condition distinguishes non-exploding from exploding models in hydrodynamic…
The histories of core-collapse supernova theory and of neutrino physics have paralleled one another for more than seventy years. Almost every development in neutrino physics necessitated modifications in supernova models. What has emerged…
Two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of stellar core-collapse with and without rotation are presented which for the first time were performed by solving the Boltzmann equation for the neutrino transport including a state-of-the-art…
Multi-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the post-bounce evolution of collapsed stellar iron cores have demonstrated that convective overturn between the stalled shock and the neutrinosphere can have an important effect on the…
We investigate in this paper the core-collapse supernova explosion mechanism in both one and two dimensions. We verify the usefulness of neutrino-driven overturn (``convection'') between the shock and the neutrinosphere in igniting the…
After decades of one-dimensional nucleosynthesis calculations, the growth of computational resources has meanwhile reached a level, which for the first time allows astrophysicists to consider performing routinely realistic multidimensional…
Core-collapse supernovae can be used to place limits on dark matter candidate particles, but the strength of these limits depends on the depth of our theoretical understanding of these astrophysical events. To date, limitations on computing…
We perform two-dimensional numerical simulations on the core-collapse of a massive star with strong magnetic fields and differential rotations using a numerical code ZEUS-2D. Changing field configurations and laws of differential rotation…
Core-collapse supernovae are among the most powerful explosions in the Universe, releasing about $10^{53}~\mbox{erg}$ of energy on timescales of a few tens of seconds. These explosion events are also responsible for the production and…
Neutrino-matter interaction rates are central to the core collapse phenomenon and, perhaps, to the viability of the mechanism of core-collapse supernova explosions. In this paper we catalog and discuss the major neutrino scattering,…
There has been a new infusion of ideas in the study of the mechanism and early character of core--collapse supernovae. However, despite recent conceptual and computational progress, fundamental questions remain. Some are summarize herein.
We have been working within the fundamental paradigm that core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) may be neutrino driven, since the first suggestion of this by Colgate and White nearly five decades ago. Computational models have become…
A simple description of core-collapse supernovae is given. Properties of the neutrino-driven wind, neutrino fluxes and luminosities, reaction rates, and the equilibrium electron fraction in supernova environments are discussed. Neutrino…
Core-collapse supernovae are dramatic events with a rich phenomenology, including gravitational radiation. Simulations of these events in multiple spatial dimensions with energy- and angle-dependent neutrino transport are still in their…
We investigate r-process nucleosynthesis in three-dimensional (3D) general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of rapidly rotating strongly magnetized core collapse. The simulations include a microphysical finite-temperature…
Calibrating with detailed 2D core-collapse supernova simulations, we derive a simple core-collapse supernova explosion condition based solely upon the terminal density profiles of state-of-the-art stellar evolution calculations of the…
Neutrinos dominate the energetics of core-collapse supernovae, and are believed to play an important role in driving the explosion. The development of a spatially multidimensional neutrino radiative transfer code is a key part of the…
Core-collapse supernovae are connected with formation of neutron stars. Part of the gravitation energy is transformed into the energy of the explosion, observed in SN II, SN Ib,c type supernovae. The mechanism of transformation is not…
