Importance of ${}^{56}$Ni production on diagnosing explosion mechanism of core-collapse supernova

Abstract

${}^{56}$Ni is an important indicator of the supernova explosions, which characterizes light curves. Nevertheless, rather than ${}^{56}$Ni, the explosion energy has often been paid attention from the explosion mechanism community, since it is easier to estimate from numerical data than the amount of ${}^{56}$Ni. The final explosion energy, however, is difficult to estimate by detailed numerical simulations because current simulations cannot reach typical timescale of saturation of explosion energy. Instead, the amount of ${}^{56}$Ni converges within a short timescale so that it would be a better probe of the explosion mechanism. We investigated the amount of ${}^{56}$Ni synthesized by explosive nucleosynthesis in supernova ejecta by means of numerical simulations and an analytic model. For numerical simulations, we employ Lagrangian hydrodynamics code in which neutrino heating and cooling terms are taken into account by light-bulb approximation. Initial conditions are taken from Woosley & Hegel (2007), which have 12, 15, 20, and 25 $M_{\odot }$ in zero age main sequence. We additionally develop an analytic model, which gives a reasonable estimate of the amount of ${}^{56}$Ni. We found that, in order to produce enough amount of ${}^{56}$Ni, $\mathcal{O}(1)$ Bethe s${}^{-1}$ of growth rate of the explosion energy is needed, which is much larger than that found in recent exploding simulations, typically $\mathcal{O}(0.1)$ Bethe s${}^{-1}$.
