Dynamics of Laterally Propagating Flames in X-ray Bursts. I. Burning Front Structure
Kiran Eiden, Michael Zingale, Alice Harpole +3
We investigate the structure of laterally-propagating flames through the highly-stratified burning layer in an X-ray burst. Two-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations of flame propa…
Modelling low Mach number stellar hydrodynamics with MAESTROeX
A. Harpole, D. Fan, M. P. Katz +3
Modelling long-time convective flows in the interiors of stars is extremely challenging using conventional compressible hydrodynamics codes due to the acoustic timestep limitation.…
The Castro AMR Simulation Code: Current and Future Developments
M. Zingale, A. S. Almgren, M. Barrios Sazo +7
We describe recent developments to the Castro astrophysics simulation code, focusing on new features that enable our simulations of X-ray bursts. Two highlights of Castro's ongoing…
Type Ia Supernova Explosions from Hybrid Carbon-Oxygen-Neon White Dwarf Progenitors That Have Mixed During Cooling
Carlyn N. Augustine, Donald E. Willcox, Jared Brooks +2
The creation of "hybrid" white dwarfs, made of a C-O core within a O-Ne shell has been proposed, and studies indicate that ignition in the C-rich central region makes these viable…
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…
