Toward Radiation-Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations in Core-Collapse Supernovae

Abstract

We report a current status of our radiation-magnetohydrodynamic code for the study of core-collapse supernovae. In this contribution, we discuss the accuracy of our newly developed numerical code by presenting the test problem in a static background model. We also present the application to the spherically symmetric core-collapse simulations. Since close comparison with the previously published models is made, we are now applying it for the study of magnetorotational core-collapse supernovae.
