What can be learned from a proto-neutron star's mass and radius?
Edwan Preau, Aurélien Pascal, Jérôme Novak +1
We make extensive numerical studies of masses and radii of proto-neutron stars during the first second after their birth in core-collapse supernova events. We use a quasi-static ap…

Improved neutrino-nucleon interactions in dense and hot matter for numerical simulations
Micaela Oertel, Aurélien Pascal, Marco Mancini +1
Neutrinos play an important role in compact star astrophysics: neutrino-heating is one of the main ingredients in core-collapse supernovae, neutrino-matter interactions determine t…

Impact of electron capture rates on nuclei far from stability on core-collapse supernovae
Aurélien Pascal, Simon Giraud, Anthea Fantina +4
The impact of electron-capture (EC) cross sections on neutron-rich nuclei on the dynamics of core-collapse during infall and early post-bounce is studied performing spherically sym…
