The Fallback Mechanisms in Core-Collapse Supernovae
Tsing-Wai Wong, Christopher L. Fryer, Carola I. Ellinger +2
Although the details of the core-collapse supernova mechanism are not fully understood, it is generally accepted that the energy released in the collapse produces a shock that disr…
First Simulations of Core- Collapse Supernovae to Supernova Remnants with SNSPH
Carola I. Ellinger, Gabriel Rockefeller, Christopher L. Fryer +2
We present the first 3-dimensional simulations following the evolution of supernova shocks from their inception in the stellar core through the development of a supernova remnant i…
The 12C + 12C reaction and the impact on nucleosynthesis in massive stars
M. Pignatari, R. Hirschi, M. Wiescher +7
Despite much effort in the past decades, the C-burning reaction rate is uncertain by several orders of magnitude, and the relative strength between the different channels 12C(12C,a…
Generating Optimal Initial Conditions for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Simulations
Steven Diehl, Gabriel Rockefeller, Christopher L. Fryer +2
We review existing SPH setup methods and outline their advantages, limitations and drawbacks. We present a new method for constructing initial conditions for smoothed particle hydr…
A Case Study of Small Scale Structure Formation in 3D Supernova Simulations
Carola I. Ellinger, Patrick A. Young, Christopher L. Fryer +1
It is suggested in observations of supernova remnants that a number of large- and small-scale structures form at various points in the explosion. Multidimensional modeling of core-…
Remnants of Binary White Dwarf Mergers
Cody Raskin, Evan Scannapieco, Chris Fryer +2
We carry out a comprehensive smooth particle hydrodynamics simulation survey of double-degenerate white dwarf binary mergers of varying mass combinations in order to establish corr…
