Physics of Core-Collapse Supernovae in Three Dimensions: a Sneak Preview
H. -Thomas Janka, Tobias Melson, Alexander Summa
Nonspherical mass motions are a generic feature of core-collapse supernovae, and hydrodynamic instabilities play a crucial role for the explosion mechanism. First successful neutri…
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,…
Neutrino-driven supernova of a low-mass iron-core progenitor boosted by three-dimensional turbulent convection
Tobias Melson, Hans-Thomas Janka, Andreas Marek
We present the first successful simulation of a neutrino-driven supernova explosion in three dimensions (3D), using the Prometheus-Vertex code with an axis-free Yin-Yang grid and a…
