Physics with Supernovae
Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are powerful neutrino sources and as such important targets for the growing array of neutrino observatories. We review the current status of SN theory and the expected characteristics of the neutrino signal. After recalling what we have learned from SN 1987A and general SN properties we review the physics potential of a future galactic SN observation. Supernovae a...
متن کاملThe Physics of Flames in Type Ia Supernovae
We extend a low Mach number hydrodynamics method developed for terrestrial combustion, to the study of thermonuclear flames in Type Ia supernovae. We discuss the differences between 2-D and 3-D Rayleigh-Taylor unstable flame simulations, and give detailed diagnostics on the turbulence, showing that the kinetic energy power spectrum obeys Bolgiano-Obukhov statistics in 2-D, but Kolmogorov statis...
متن کاملSome nuclear physics aspects of core-collapse supernovae
Here I review some nuclear physics aspects of core-collapse supernovae concerning neutrinos. Studies of neutrino emission and interactions in supernovae are crucial to our understanding of the explosion mechanism, the heavy element nucleosynthesis, and pulsar proper motions. I discuss the effects of reduced neutrino opacities in dense nuclear matter on supernova neutrino emission and their impl...
متن کاملSupernovae as a Probe of Particle Physics and Cosmology
It has very recently been demonstrated by Csáki, Kaloper and Terning (CKT) that the faintness of supernovae at high redshift can be accommodated by mixing of a light axion with the photon in the presence of an intergalactic magnetic field, as opposed to the usual explanation of an accelerating universe by a dark energy component. In this paper we analyze further aspects of the CKT mechanism and...
متن کاملSupernovae with “ Super - Hipparcos ”
GAIA is the " super-Hipparcos " satellite scheduled for launch in 2010 by the European Space Agency. It is a scanning satellite that carries out multi-colour, multi-epoch pho-tometry on all objects brighter than 20th magnitude. We conduct detailed simulations of supernovae (SNe) detection by GAIA. Supernovae of each type are chosen according to the observed distributions of absolute magnitudes,...
