Formation of Nuclear "Pasta" in Supernovae
Gentaro Watanabe, Hidetaka Sonoda, Toshiki Maruyama +3
In supernova cores, nuclear "pasta" phases such as triangular lattice of rod-like nuclei and layered structure of slab-like nuclei are considered to exist. However, it is still unc…
Phase diagram of nuclear "pasta" and its uncertainties in supernova cores
Hidetaka Sonoda, Gentaro Watanabe, Katsuhiko Sato +2
We examine the model dependence of the phase diagram of inhomogeneous nulcear matter in supernova cores using the quantum molecular dynamics (QMD). Inhomogeneous matter includes cr…
Impact of nuclear "pasta" on neutrino transport in collapsing stellar cores
Hidetaka Sonoda, Gentaro Watanabe, Katsuhiko Sato +3
Nuclear ``pasta'', nonspherical nuclei in dense matter, is predicted to occur in collapsing supernova cores. We show how pasta phases affect the neutrino transport cross section vi…
Recent progress on understanding "pasta" phases in dense stars
Gentaro Watanabe, Hidetaka Sonoda
In cores of supernovae and crusts of neutron stars, nuclei can adopt interesting shapes, such as rods or slabs, etc., which are referred to as nuclear "pasta." Recently, we have be…
Dynamical Simulation of Nuclear "Pasta": Soft Condensed Matter in Dense Stars
Gentaro Watanabe, Hidetaka Sonoda
More than twenty years ago, it was predicted that nuclei can adopt interesting shapes, such as rods or slabs, etc., in the cores of supernovae and the crusts of neutron stars. Thes…
