From Microscales to Macroscales in 3D: Selfconsistent Equation of State for Supernova and Neutron Star Models
W. G. Newton, J. R. Stone, A. Mezzacappa
First results from a fully self-consistent, temperature-dependent equation of state that spans the whole density range of neutron stars and supernova cores are presented. The equat…
APS Neutrino Study: Report of the Neutrino Astrophysics and Cosmology Working Group
Steve W. Barwick, John F. Beacom, Vince Cianciolo +11
In 2002, Ray Davis and Masatoshi Koshiba were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics ``for pioneering contributions to astrophysics, in particular for the detection of cosmic neutrinos…
The Core Collapse Supernova Mechanism: Current Models, Gaps, and the Road Ahead
Anthony Mezzacappa
The pursuit of the core collapse supernova explosion mechanism continues. While such efforts have been undertaken over the last four decades, it is only in the last decade that mul…
The importance of neutrino opacities for the accretion luminosity in spherically symmetric supernova models
M. Liebendoerfer, O. E. B. Messer, A. Mezzacappa +3
Based on general relativistic three-flavor Boltzmann neutrino transport, we compare simulations of the postbounce evolution for five different stellar progenitors with 13 and 20 so…
Stellar Sources of the Interstellar Medium
F. -K. Thielemann, D. Argast, F. Brachwitz +14
With the exception of the Big Bang, responsible for 1,2H, 3,4He, and 7Li, stars act as sources for the composition of the interstellar medium. Cosmic rays are related to the latter…
NewtonPlus: Approximating Relativistic Effects in Supernova Simulations
Christian Y. Cardall, Anthony Mezzacappa
We propose an approximation to full relativity that captures the main gravitational effects of dynamical importance in supernovae. The conceptual link between this formalism and th…
