The Development of Explosions in Axisymmetric Ab Initio Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations of 12-25 $M_{\odot }$ Stars

Stephen W. Bruenn, Eric J. Lentz, W. Raphael Hix +9

We present four ab initio axisymmetric core-collapse supernova simulations for 12, 15, 20, and 25 $M_{\odot }$ progenitors. All of the simulations yield explosions and have been evolv…
