Three Dimensional Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations with 160 Isotopic Species Evolved to Shock Breakout

Abstract

We present three-dimensional simulations of core-collapse supernovae using the FLASH code that follow the progression of the explosion to the stellar surface, starting from neutrino-radiation hydrodynamic simulations of the neutrino-driven phase performed with the CHIMERA code. We consider a 9.6-$M_{\odot }$ zero-metallicity progenitor starting from both 2D and 3D CHIMERA models, and a 10-$M_{\odot }$ solar-metallicity progenitor starting from a 2D CHIMERA model, all simulated until shock breakout in 3D while tracking 160 nuclear species. The relative velocity difference between the supernova shock and the metal-rich Rayleigh-Taylor (R-T) "bullets" determines how the metal-rich ejecta evolves as it propagates through the density profile of the progenitor and dictates the final morphology of the explosion. We find maximum ${}^{56}\mathrm{Ni}$ velocities of $\sim 1950{\mathrm{km}\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ and $\sim 1750{\mathrm{km}\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ at shock breakout from 2D and 3D 9.6-$M_{\odot }$ CHIMERA models, respectively, due to the bullets' ability to penetrate the He/H shell. When mapping from 2D, we find that the development of higher velocity structures is suppressed when the 2D CHIMERA model and 3D FLASH model meshes are aligned. The development of faster growing spherical-bubble structures, as opposed to the slower growing toroidal structure imposed by axisymmetry, allows for interaction of the bullets with the shock and seeds further R-T instabilities at the He/H interface. We see similar effects in the 10-$M_{\odot }$ model, which achieves maximum ${}^{56}\mathrm{Ni}$ velocities of $\sim 2500{\mathrm{km}\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ at shock breakout.
