3D Simulations of Oxygen Shell Burning with and without Magnetic Fields
Vishnu Varma, Bernhard Müller
We present a first 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of convective oxygen and neon shell burning in a non-rotating star shortly before core collapse to study t…
Stochastic Core Spin-Up in Massive Stars -- Implications of 3D Simulations of Oxygen Shell Burning
L. O. McNeill, B. Müller
It has been suggested based on analytic theory that even in non-rotating supernova progenitors stochastic spin-up by internal gravity waves (IGWs) during the late burning stages ca…
Hydrodynamics of core-collapse supernovae and their progenitors
B. Müller
Multi-dimensional fluid flow plays a paramount role in the explosions of massive stars as core-collapse supernovae. In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) simulations of these phe…
Multi-D Simulations of Ultra-Stripped Supernovae to Shock Breakout
B. Müller, D. Gay, A. Heger +2
The recent discoveries of many double neutron star systems and their detection as LIGO-Virgo merger events call for a detailed understanding of their origin. Explosions of ultra-st…
Progenitor-dependent Explosion Dynamics in Self-consistent, Axisymmetric Simulations of Neutrino-driven Core-collapse Supernovae
Alexander Summa, Florian Hanke, Hans-Thomas Janka +3
We present self-consistent, axisymmetric core-collapse supernova simulations performed with the Prometheus-Vertex code for 18 pre-supernova models in the range of 11-28 solar masse…
Neutrino-driven explosion of a 20 solar-mass star in three dimensions enabled by strange-quark contributions to neutrino-nucleon scattering
Tobias Melson, Hans-Thomas Janka, Robert Bollig +3
Interactions with neutrons and protons play a crucial role for the neutrino opacity of matter in the supernova core. Their current implementation in many simulation codes, however,…
