Computational Models of Stellar Collapse and Core-Collapse Supernovae

C. D. Ott, E. Schnetter, A. Burrows +3

Core-collapse supernovae are among Nature's most energetic events. They mark the end of massive star evolution and pollute the interstellar medium with the life-enabling ashes of t…

The Proto-neutron Star Phase of the Collapsar Model and the Route to Long-soft Gamma-ray Bursts and Hypernovae

Luc Dessart, Adam Burrows, Eli Livne +1

Recent stellar evolutionary calculations of low-metallicity massive fast-rotating main-sequence stars yield iron cores at collapse endowed with high angular momentum. It is thought…

A Two-Dimensional MagnetoHydrodynamics Scheme for General Unstructured Grids

Eli Livne, Luc Dessart, Adam Burrows +1

We report a new finite-difference scheme for two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations, with and without rotation, in unstructured grids with quadrilateral cells. The…

A New Mechanism for Core-Collapse Supernova Explosions

Adam Burrows, Eli Livne, Luc Dessart +2

We present a new mechanism for core-collapse supernova explosions that relies upon acoustic power generated in the inner core as the driver. In our simulation using an 11-solar-mas…

Anisotropies in the Neutrino Fluxes and Heating Profiles in Two-dimensional, Time-dependent, Multi-group Radiation Hydrodynamics Simulations of Rotating Core-Collapse Supernovae

R. Walder, A. Burrows, C. D. Ott +3

Using the 2D multi-group, flux-limited diffusion version of the code VULCAN/2D, that also incorporates rotation, we have calculated the collapse, bounce, shock formation, and early…

Delayed Detonation at a Single Point in Exploding White Dwarfs

Eli Livne

Delayed detonation in an exploding white dwarf, which propagates from an off-center transition point, rather than from a spherical transition shell, is described and simulated. The…
