Neural Networks for Nuclear Reactions in MAESTROeX
Duoming Fan, Donald E. Willcox, Christopher DeGrendele +2
We demonstrate the use of neural networks to accelerate the reaction steps in the MAESTROeX stellar hydrodynamics code. A traditional MAESTROeX simulation uses a stiff ODE integrat…
Thermonuclear (Type Ia) Supernovae and Progenitor Evolution
Alan C. Calder, Don E. Willcox, Christopher J. DeGrendele +3
Thermonuclear (type Ia) supernovae are bright stellar explosions with the unique property that the light curves can be standardized, allowing them to be used as distance indicators…
White Paper on Nuclear Astrophysics
Almudena Arcones, Dan W. Bardayan, Timothy C. Beers +40
This white paper informs the nuclear astrophysics community and funding agencies about the scientific directions and priorities of the field and provides input from this community…
The Deflagration Stage of Chandrasekhar Mass Models For Type Ia Supernovae: I. Early Evolution
C. M. Malone, A. Nonaka, S. E. Woosley +4
We present high-resolution, full-star simulations of the post-ignition phase of Type Ia supernovae using the compressible hydrodynamics code Castro. Initial conditions, including t…
Low Mach Number Modeling of Convection in Helium Shells on Sub-Chandrasekhar White Dwarfs. I. Methodology
M. Zingale, A. Nonaka, A. S. Almgren +3
We assess the robustness of a low Mach number hydrodynamics algorithm for modeling helium shell convection on the surface of a white dwarf in the context of the sub-Chandrasekhar m…
