R-process Nucleosynthesis from Three-Dimensional Magnetorotational Core-Collapse Supernovae
Philipp Mösta, Luke F. Roberts, Goni Halevi +4
We investigate r-process nucleosynthesis in three-dimensional (3D) general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of rapidly rotating strongly magnetized core collapse. The s…
The Progenitor Dependence of Three-Dimensional Core-Collapse Supernovae
C. D. Ott, L. F. Roberts, A. da Silva Schneider +3
We present a first study of the progenitor star dependence of the three-dimensional (3D) neutrino mechanism of core-collapse supernovae. We employ full 3D general-relativistic mult…
Nuclear pasta in hot dense matter and its implications for neutrino scattering
Alessandro Roggero, Jérôme Margueron, Luke F. Roberts +1
We find that the abundance of large clusters of nucleons in neutron-rich matter at sub-nuclear density is greatly reduced by finite temperature effects when matter is close to beta…
Turbulence in Core-Collapse Supernovae
David Radice, Ernazar Abdikamalov, Christian D. Ott +3
Multidimensional simulations show that non-radial, turbulent, fluid motion is a fundamental component of the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) explosion mechanism. Neutrino-driven con…
A New Open-Source Nuclear Equation of State Framework based on the Liquid-Drop Model with Skyrme Interaction
Andre da Silva Schneider, Luke F. Roberts, Christian D. Ott
The equation of state (EOS) of dense matter is an essential ingredient for numerical simulations of core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers. The properties of matter near…
SkyNet: A modular nuclear reaction network library
Jonas Lippuner, Luke F. Roberts
Almost all of the elements heavier than hydrogen that are present in our solar system were produced by nuclear burning processes either in the early universe or at some point in th…
