A Neutrino-Driven Core Collapse Supernova Explosion of a 15 M Star
Anthony Mezzacappa, Eric J. Lentz, Stephen W. Bruenn +8
We present results from an ab initio three-dimensional, multi-physics core collapse supernova simulation for the case of a 15 M progenitor. Our simulation includes multi-frequency…
Three-dimensional core-collapse supernova simulated using a 15 progenitor
Eric J. Lentz, Stephen W. Bruenn, W. Raphael Hix +7
We have performed ab initio neutrino radiation hydrodynamics simulations in three and two spatial dimensions (3D and 2D) of core-collapse supernovae from the same 15 prog…
Recent Progress on Ascertaining the Core Collapse Supernova Explosion Mechanism
Anthony Mezzacappa, Stephen W. Bruenn, Eric J. Lentz +8
We have been working within the fundamental paradigm that core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) may be neutrino driven, since the first suggestion of this by Colgate and White nearly fi…
Advancing Nucleosynthesis in Self-consistent, Multidimensional Models of Core-Collapse Supernovae
J. Austin Harris, W. Raphael Hix, Merek A. Chertkow +7
We investigate core-collapse supernova (CCSN) nucleosynthesis in polar axisymmetric simulations using the multidimensional radiation hydrodynamics code CHIMERA. Computational costs…
The Development of Explosions in Axisymmetric Ab Initio Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations of 12-25 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 progenitors. All of the simulations yield explosions and have been evolv…
Two- and Three-Dimensional Multi-Physics Simulations of Core Collapse Supernovae: A Brief Status Report and Summary of Results from the "Oak Ridge" Group
Anthony Mezzacappa, Stephen W. Bruenn, Eric J. Lentz +8
We summarize the results of core collapse supernova theory from one-, two-, and three-dimensional models and provide a snapshot of the field at this time. We also present results f…
Two- and three-dimensional simulations of core-collapse supernovae with CHIMERA
Eric J. Lentz, Stephen W. Bruenn, J. Austin Harris +8
Ascertaining the core-collapse supernova mechanism is a complex, and yet unsolved, problem dependent on the interaction of general relativity, hydrodynamics, neutrino transport, ne…
Axisymmetric Ab Initio Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations of 12-25 M_sol Stars
Stephen W. Bruenn, Anthony Mezzacappa, W. Raphael Hix +7
We present an overview of four ab initio axisymmetric core-collapse supernova simulations employing detailed spectral neutrino transport computed with our CHIMERA code and initiate…
