The neutrino signal from protoneutron star accretion and black hole formation
T. Fischer, S. C. Whitehouse, A. Mezzacappa +2
We discuss the formation of stellar mass black holes via protoneutron star (PNS) collapse. In the absence of an earlier explosion, the PNS collapses to a black hole due to the cont…
The isotropic diffusion source approximation for supernova neutrino transport
M. Liebendoerfer, S. C. Whitehouse, T. Fischer
Astrophysical observations originate from matter that interacts with radiation or transported particles. We develop a pragmatic approximation in order to enable multi-dimensional s…
Gravitational waves from 3D MHD core collapse simulations
S. Scheidegger, T. Fischer, S. C. Whitehouse +1
We present the gravitational wave analysis from rotating (model s15g) and nearly non-rotating (model s15h) 3D MHD core collapse supernova simulations at bounce and the first couple…
Nuclear physics with spherically symmetric supernova models
M. Liebendoerfer, T. Fischer, C. Fröhlich +2
Few years ago, Boltzmann neutrino transport led to a new and reliable generation of spherically symmetric models of stellar core collapse and postbounce evolution. After the failur…
The thermodynamics of collapsing molecular cloud cores using smoothed particle hydrodynamics with radiative transfer
Stuart C. Whitehouse, Matthew R. Bate
We present the results of a series of calculations studying the collapse of molecular cloud cores performed using a three-dimensional smoothed particle hydr odynamics code with rad…
A faster algorithm for smoothed particle hydrodynamics with radiative transfer in the flux-limited diffusion approximation
Stuart C. Whitehouse, Matthew R. Bate, Joe J. Monaghan
We describe a new, faster implicit algorithm for solving the radiation hydrodynamics equations in the flux-limited diffusion approximation for smoothed particle hydrodynamics. This…
