Sensitivity of Core-Collapse Supernovae to Neutrino Luminosity in Cases of Anisotropic Neutrino Radiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate the importance of anisotropic neutrino radiation in the mechanism of corecollapse supernova explosions. Through a new parameter study with a fixed radiation field of neutrinos, we show that global anisotropy of the neutrino radiation is the most effective mechanism of increasing the explosion energy when the total neutrino luminosity is given. We discuss the reason why, and demonstrate how sensitively the success of a supernova explosion depends on the neutrino luminosity.

We demonstrate the important role of anisotropic neutrino radiation on the mechanism of core-collapse supernova explosions.

متن کاملImportance of Prolate Neutrino Radiation in Core-Collapse Supernovae: The Reason for the Prolate Geometry of SN1987A?
We have carried out 2-D simulations of core-collapse supernova explosions. The local neutrino radiation field is assumed to have its maximum value either at the symmetry (polar) axis or on the equatorial plane. These lead to the prolate and oblate explosions, respectively. We find that the gain of the explosion energy in the prolate explosion evolves more predominately than that in the oblate o...

متن کاملGlobal Anisotropy Versus Small-Scale Fluctuations in Neutrino Flux in Core-Collapse Supernova Explosions
Effects of small-scale fluctuations in the neutrino radiation on core-collapse supernova explosions are examined. Through a parameter study with a fixed radiation field of neutrinos, we find substantial differences between the results of globally anisotropic neutrino radiation and those with fluctuations. As the number of modes of fluctuations increases, the shock positions, entropy distributio...
