Jets as differential probes of hot QCD matter

João M. Silva

Ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions create short-lived droplets of deconfined, hot QCD matter whose evolution connects far-from-equilibrium early dynamics to the hydrodynamic q…

The Mass Function of Neutron Stars from Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations

Waly M Z Karim, Adam Burrows, David Vartanyan +2

Using the mapping between progenitor core structure and the gravitational mass of neutron stars derived from sophisticated 3D supernova simulations, we determine the theoretical ma…

Effects of Rotation on 3D Core-Collapse Supernova Models for Low-Mass Progenitors

Adam Burrows, Tianshu Wang, David Vartanyan

We explore the dependence upon rotation rate alone of various supernova observables simulated to their saturation for the explosion of a 9- progenitor. We find that the…

An Exploration of the Equation of State Dependence of Core-Collapse Supernova Explosion Outcomes and Signatures

Aleksandr Rusakov, Adam S. Burrows, Tianshu Wang +1

We explore, using a state-of-the-art simulation code in 3D and to late enough times to witness final observables, the dependence of core-collapse supernova explosions on the nuclea…

Simulated 3D Ni Distributions of Type IIp Supernovae

David Vartanyan, Adam Burrows, Lizzy Teryoshin +4

We present the first three-dimensional study of the asymptotic ejecta distributions for a suite of theoretical Type IIp supernovae originating from red supergiant progenitors. We s…

Predicted Neutrino Signal Features of Core-Collapse Supernovae

Lyla Choi, Adam Burrows, David Vartanyan

In this paper, we examine the neutrino signals from 24 initially non-rotating, three-dimensional core-collapse supernova (CCSN) simulations carried to late times. We find that not…

The Effect of the Fast-Flavor Instability on Core-Collapse Supernova Models

Tianshu Wang, Adam Burrows

Merging our supernova code F{\sc{ornax}} with the Box3D fast-flavor neutrino oscillation formalism, we explore the effects of fast-flavor conversion (FFC) in state-of-the-art 1D an…

Channels of Stellar-mass Black Hole Formation

Adam Burrows, Tianshu Wang, David Vartanyan

On the basis of a large collection of detailed 3D core-collapse supernova simulations carried to late times, we identify four channels of stellar mass black hole formation. Our exa…

Leveraging neutrino flavor physics for supernova model differentiation

Lily Newkirk, Eve Armstrong, A. Baha Balantekin +7

Neutrino flavor evolution is critical for understanding the physics of dense astrophysical regimes, including core-collapse supernovae (CCSN). Powerful numerical integration codes…

A 3D Simulation of a Type II-P Supernova: from Core Bounce to Beyond Shock Breakout

David Vartanyan, Benny T. H. Tsang, Daniel Kasen +3

In order to better connect core-collapse supernovae (CCSN) theory with its observational signatures, we have developed a simulation pipeline from the onset of core collapse to beyo…

Supernova Explosions of the Lowest-Mass Massive Star Progenitors

Tianshu Wang, Adam Burrows

We here focus on the behavior of supernovae that technically explode in 1D (spherical symmetry). When simulated in 3D, however, the outcomes of representative progenitors of this c…
