The first 3D MHD core-collapse progenitors II: Rotation, magnetic-field amplification, and magnetic topology
Adam Griffiths, Miguel-Ãngel Aloy, Martin Obergaulinger
The most energetic core-collapse supernovae are thought to arise from rapidly rotating, magnetised progenitors. However, the three-dimensional pre-collapse structure of their angul…
The first 3D MHD core-collapse progenitors I: General properties, convection and nuclear burning
Adam Griffiths, Miguel-Ãngel Aloy, Martin Obergaulinger
The most energetic core-collapse supernovae are thought to arise from rapidly rotating, magnetised progenitors, yet the three-dimensional structure of their pre-collapse interior r…
The advanced evolution of massive stars: I. New reaction rates for carbon and oxygen nuclear reactions
T. Dumont, A. Bonhomme, A. Griffiths +9
The nuclear rates for reactions involving 12C and 16O are key to compute the energy release and nucleosynthesis of massive stars during their evolution. These rates shape the stell…
Evolving massive stars to core collapse with GENEC: Extension of equation of state, opacities and effective nuclear network
Adam Griffiths, Miguel-Ã Aloy, Raphael Hirschi +6
Stars with initial mass above roughly 8 solar masses will evolve to form a core made of iron group elements at which point no further exothermic nuclear reactions between charged n…
