The Overarching Framework of Core-Collapse Supernova Explosions as Revealed by 3D Fornax Simulations
Adam Burrows, David Radice, David Vartanyan +3
We have conducted nineteen state-of-the-art 3D core-collapse supernova simulations spanning a broad range of progenitor masses. This is the largest collection of sophisticated 3D s…
Fornax: a Flexible Code for Multiphysics Astrophysical Simulations
M. Aaron Skinner, Joshua C. Dolence, Adam Burrows +2
This paper describes the design and implementation of our new multi-group, multi-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics (RHD) code Fornax and provides a suite of code tests to validat…
Neutrino Signals of Core-Collapse Supernovae in Underground Detectors
Shaquann Seadrow, Adam Burrows, David Vartanyan +2
For a suite of fourteen core-collapse models during the dynamical first second after bounce, we calculate the detailed neutrino "light" curves expected in the underground neutrino…
Revival of the Fittest: Exploding Core-Collapse Supernovae from 12 to 25 M
David Vartanyan, Adam Burrows, David Radice +2
We present results of 2D axisymmetric core-collapse supernova simulations, employing the FORNAX code, of nine progenitor models spanning 12 to 25 M and evolved over a 20,…
Numerical Simulations of Turbulent Molecular Clouds Regulated by Radiation Feedback Forces II: Radiation-Gas Interactions and Outflows
Sudhir Raskutti, Eve C. Ostriker, M. Aaron Skinner
Momentum deposition by radiation pressure from young, massive stars may help to destroy molecular clouds and unbind stellar clusters by driving large-scale outflows. We extend our…
Electron-Capture and Low-Mass Iron-Core-Collapse Supernovae: New Neutrino-Radiation-Hydrodynamics Simulations
David Radice, Adam Burrows, David Vartanyan +2
We present new 1D (spherical) and 2D (axisymmetric) simulations of electron-capture (EC) and low-mass iron-core-collapse supernovae (SN). We consider six progenitor models: the ECS…
Crucial Physical Dependencies of the Core-Collapse Supernova Mechanism
Adam Burrows, David Vartanyan, Joshua C. Dolence +2
We explore with self-consistent 2D F{\sc{ornax}} simulations the dependence of the outcome of collapse on many-body corrections to neutrino-nucleon cross sections, the nucleon-nucl…
Numerical Simulations of Turbulent, Molecular Clouds Regulated by Radiation Feedback Forces I: Star Formation Rate and Efficiency
Sudhir Raskutti, Eve C. Ostriker, M. Aaron Skinner
Radiation feedback from stellar clusters is expected to play a key role in setting the rate and efficiency of star formation in giant molecular clouds (GMCs). To investigate how ra…
Should One Use the Ray-by-Ray Approximation in Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations?
M. Aaron Skinner, A. Burrows, J. C. Dolence
We perform the first self-consistent, time-dependent, multi-group calculations in two dimensions (2D) to address the consequences of using the ray-by-ray+ transport simplification…
Numerical Simulations of Turbulent Molecular Clouds Regulated by Reprocessed Radiation Feedback from Nascent Super Star Clusters
M. Aaron Skinner, Eve C. Ostriker
Radiation feedback from young star clusters embedded in giant molecular clouds (GMCs) is believed to be important to the control of star formation. For the most massive and dense c…
A Two-moment Radiation Hydrodynamics Module in Athena Using a Time-explicit Godunov Method
M. Aaron Skinner, Eve C. Ostriker
We describe a module for the Athena code that solves the gray equations of radiation hydrodynamics (RHD), based on the first two moments of the radiative transfer equation. We use…
The Athena Astrophysical MHD Code in Cylindrical Geometry
Aaron Skinner, Eve Ostriker
A method for implementing cylindrical coordinates in the Athena magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code is described. The extension follows the approach of Athena's original developers and…
