An Investigation of Neutrino-Driven Convection and the Core Collapse Supernova Mechanism Using Multigroup Neutrino Transport
A. Mezzacappa, A. C. Calder, S. W. Bruenn +4
We investigate neutrino-driven convection in core collapse supernovae and its ramifications for the explosion mechanism. We begin with an ``optimistic'' 15 solar mass precollapse m…

Deciphering Core Collapse Supernovae: Is Convection the Key? I. Prompt Convection
A. Mezzacappa, A. C. Calder, S. W. Bruenn +4
We couple two-dimensional hydrodynamics to detailed one-dimensional multigroup flux-limited diffusion neutrino transport to investigate prompt convection in core collapse supernova…
