Type Ia Supernovae: An Asymmetric Deflagration Model
A. C. Calder, T. Plewa, N. Vladimirova +2
We present the first high-resolution three-dimensional simulations of the deflagration phase of Type Ia supernovae that treat the entire massive white dwarf. We report the results…
Investigations of Pointwise Ignition of Helium Deflagrations on Neutron Stars
M. Zingale, S. E. Woosley, A. Cumming +7
We look at the spreading of localized temperature perturbations in the accreted fuel layer of a non-rotating neutron star. The pressure at the base of the accreted fuel layer is la…
Numerical Models of Newtonian and Post-Newtonian Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Edward Y. M. Wang, F. Douglas Swesty, Alan C. Calder
This article describes a comparison of two calculations of the merger of a binary neutron star (NS) system which is initially within the tidal instability as described by Rasio and…
Numerical Methods for Modeling Binary Neutron Star Systems
Alan C. Calder, F. Douglas Swesty, Edward Y. M. Wang
We present initial results of our study of numerical methods for modeling neutron star mergers (NSMs) with simulations that perform the full hydrodynamic evolution required to capt…
An Investigation of Neutrino-Driven Convection and the Core Collapse Supernova Mechanism Using Multigroup Neutrino Transport
A. Mezzacappa, A. C. Calder, S. W. Bruenn +4
We investigate neutrino-driven convection in core collapse supernovae and its ramifications for the explosion mechanism. We begin with an ``optimistic'' 15 solar mass precollapse m…
Deciphering Core Collapse Supernovae: Is Convection the Key? I. Prompt Convection
A. Mezzacappa, A. C. Calder, S. W. Bruenn +4
We couple two-dimensional hydrodynamics to detailed one-dimensional multigroup flux-limited diffusion neutrino transport to investigate prompt convection in core collapse supernova…
