Core-Collapse Supernovae and Neutron Star Kicks
Recent observations have revealed many new puzzles related to core-collapse supernovae, including the formation of magnetars and black holes and their possible GRB connections. We review our current understanding of the origin of pulsar kicks and supernova asymmetry. It is argued that neutron star kicks are intimately connected to the other fundamental parameters of young neutron stars, such as...
متن کاملThe effective electron mass in core-collapse supernovae
Finite temperature field theory is used to calculate the correction to the mass of the electron in plasma with finite temperature and arbitrary chemical potential, and the results are applied to the core regions of type II supernovae (SNe). It is shown that the effective electron mass varies between 1 MeV at the edge of the SN core up to 11 MeV near the center. This changed electron mass affect...
متن کاملNucleosynthesis in Core Collapse Supernovae
We present the basic properties of the yields of our latest set of presupernova evolution and explosive nucleosynthesis of massive stars in the range between 11 and 120 M having solar and zero metallicity.
متن کاملNeutrino signal of electron-capture supernovae from core collapse to cooling.
An 8.8M{⊙} electron-capture supernova was simulated in spherical symmetry consistently from collapse through explosion to essentially complete deleptonization of the forming neutron star. The evolution time (∼9 s) is short because high-density effects suppress our neutrino opacities. After a short phase of accretion-enhanced luminosities (∼200 ms), luminosity equipartition among all species b...
متن کاملUnderstanding Core-Collapse Supernovae
At the University of Arizona, we have a major effort to study core-collapse supernovae, neutrino opacities and transfer, multi-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics, pulsar kicks, and gravitational radiation from supernovae. We have developed a precision 1D (spherical) multigroup implicit Boltzmann solver, SESAME 1 [1, 2], using the Feautrier technique, with the tangent-ray method to achieve exce...
