The Deflagration Stage of Chandrasekhar Mass Models For Type Ia Supernovae: I. Early Evolution
C. M. Malone, A. Nonaka, S. E. Woosley +4
We present high-resolution, full-star simulations of the post-ignition phase of Type Ia supernovae using the compressible hydrodynamics code Castro. Initial conditions, including t…
Low Mach Number Modeling of Convection in Helium Shells on Sub-Chandrasekhar White Dwarfs. I. Methodology
M. Zingale, A. Nonaka, A. S. Almgren +3
We assess the robustness of a low Mach number hydrodynamics algorithm for modeling helium shell convection on the surface of a white dwarf in the context of the sub-Chandrasekhar m…
The Hydrodynamic Origin of Neutron Star Kicks
J. Nordhaus, T. Brandt, A. Burrows +1
We present results from a suite of axisymmetric, core-collapse supernova simulations in which hydrodynamic recoil from an asymmetric explosion produces large proto-neutron star (PN…
Dimension as a Key to the Neutrino Mechanism of Core-Collapse Supernova Explosions
J. Nordhaus, A. Burrows, A. Almgren +1
We explore the dependence on spatial dimension of the viability of the neutrino heating mechanism of core-collapse supernova explosions. We find that the tendency to explode is a m…
