Influence of light nuclei on neutrino-driven supernova outflows
A. Arcones, G. Martinez-Pinedo, E. O'Connor +4
We study the composition of the outer layers of a protoneutron star and show that light nuclei are present in substantial amounts. The composition is dominated by nucleons, deutero…
Neutrino-driven explosions twenty years after SN1987A
H. -Th. Janka, A. Marek, F. -S. Kitaura
The neutrino-heating mechanism remains a viable possibility for the cause of the explosion in a wide mass range of supernova progenitors. This is demonstrated by recent two-dimensi…
Gravitational waves from relativistic neutron star mergers with nonzero-temperature equations of state
R. Oechslin, H. -T. Janka
We analyze the gravitational wave (GW) emission from our recently published set of relativistic neutron star (NS) merger simulations and determine characteristic signal features th…
Theory of Core-Collapse Supernovae
H. -Th. Janka, K. Langanke, A. Marek +2
Advances in our understanding and the modeling of stellar core-collapse and supernova explosions over the past 15 years are reviewed, concentrating on the evolution of hydrodynamic…
Supernova Asymmetries and Pulsar Kicks -- Views on Controversial Issues
H. -Th. Janka, L. Scheck, K. Kifonidis +2
Two- and three-dimensional simulations demonstrate that hydrodynamic instabilities can lead to low-mode (l=1,2) asymmetries of the fluid flow in the neutrino-heated layer behind th…
Global Anisotropies in Supernova Explosions and Pulsar Recoil
L. Scheck, T. Plewa, K. Kifonidis +2
We show by two-dimensional and first three-dimensional simulations of neutrino-driven supernova explosions that low (l=1,2) modes can dominate the flow pattern in the convective po…
