Nuclear physics with spherically symmetric supernova models
M. Liebendoerfer, T. Fischer, C. Fröhlich +2
Few years ago, Boltzmann neutrino transport led to a new and reliable generation of spherically symmetric models of stellar core collapse and postbounce evolution. After the failur…
Fifty-Nine Reasons for a Supernova to not Explode
M. Liebendoerfer
The number in the title is a birthday-inspired overestimate by about an order of magnitude. Nevertheless, this contribution reminds of well-known reasons that prevented straightfor…
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: Approximate Relativity for Supernova Simulations
Christian Y. Cardall, Anthony Mezzacappa, Matthias Liebendoerfer
We propose an approximation to general relativity that captures the main gravitational effects of dynamical importance in supernovae. The conceptual link between this formalism and…
