The Impact of Nuclear Reaction Rate Uncertainties On The Evolution of Core-Collapse Supernova Progenitors
C. E. Fields, F. X. Timmes, R. Farmer +3
We explore properties of core-collapse supernova progenitors with respect to the composite uncertainties in the thermonuclear reaction rates by coupling the reaction rate probabili…
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Convective Boundaries, Element Diffusion, and Massive Star Explosions
Bill Paxton, Josiah Schwab, Evan B. Bauer +10
We update the capabilities of the software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) and enhance its ease of use and availability. Our new approach to locat…
Neutrinos from beta processes in a presupernova: probing the isotopic evolution of a massive star
Kelly M. Patton, Cecilia Lunardini, Robert J. Farmer +1
We present a new calculation of the neutrino flux received at Earth from a massive star in the hours of evolution prior to its explosion as a supernova (presupernova). Us…
