Two Dimensional Simulations of Pair-Instability Supernovae

arXiv:1006.3072 · doi:10.1063/1.3518864

Abstract

We present preliminary results from two dimensional numerical studies of pair instability supernova (PSN). We study nuclear burning, hydrodynamic instabilities and explosion of very massive stars. Use a new radiation-hydrodynamics code, CASTRO.
