The Neutrino Signal in Stellar Core Collapse and Postbounce Evolution
M. Liebendoerfer, A. Mezzacappa, O. E. B. Messer +3
General relativistic multi-group and multi-flavor Boltzmann neutrino transport in spherical symmetry adds a new level of detail to the numerical bridge between microscopic nuclear…
Stability of Standing Accretion Shocks, With an Eye Toward Core Collapse Supernovae
John M. Blondin, Anthony Mezzacappa, Christine DeMarino
We examine the stability of standing, spherical accretion shocks. Accretion shocks arise in core collapse supernovae (the focus of this paper), star formation, and accreting white…
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…
