Supernova Simulation with CHIMERA
نویسندگان
چکیده
CHIMERA is a multi-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics code designed to study core-collapse supernovae. The code is made up of three essentially independent parts: hydrodynamics, nuclear burning, and a neutrino transport solver combined within an operator-split approach. The multi-physics nature of the problem, and the specific implementation of that physics in CHIMERA, provide a rather straightforward path to effective use of multi-core platforms in the near future.

Determining the Supernova Direction by its Neutrinos
Supernova neutrinos, which arrive at Earth earlier than light, allow for the earliest determination of the direction of the supernova. The topic of this paper is to study how accurately we can determine the supernova direction. We simulate supernova neutrino events at the SuperKamiokande detector, using a realistic supernova model and several realistic neutrino oscillation models. With the resu...

Results of 2D simulations of the magnetorotational mechanism of su-pernova type II are presented. Amplification of toroidal magnetic field of the star due to differential rotation of the star leads to the transformation of the rotational (gravitational) energy to the energy of the supernova explosion. In our simulation the energy of the explosion is 1.12 · 10 51 erg. The explosion ejects about ...
متن کاملSimulations of Stellar Core Collapse, Bounce, and Postbounce Evolution with Boltzmann Neutrino Transport, and Implications for the Core Collapse Supernova Mechanism
In this paper, we present results from a simulation of stellar core collapse, bounce, and postbounce evolution with Boltzmann neutrino transport. We motivate the development of our Boltzmann solver in light of the sensitivity of the neutrino-heating core collapse supernova paradigm to details in the neutrino transport, particularly near the neutrinospheres, where the neutrinos are neither diffu...
متن کاملSupernova Neutrinos
A nascent neutron star resulting from stellar collapse is a prodigious source of neutrinos of all flavors. While the most basic features of this neutrino emission can be estimated from simple considerations, the detailed simulation of the neutrinos’ decoupling from the hot neutron star is not yet computationally tractable in its full glory, being a time-dependent six-dimensional transport probl...
متن کاملInteraction of Supernova Ejecta with Nearby Protoplanetary Disks
The early Solar System contained short-lived radionuclides such as Fe (t1/2 = 1.5 Myr) whose most likely source was a nearby supernova. Previous models of Solar System formation considered a supernova shock that triggered the collapse of the Sun’s nascent molecular cloud. We advocate an alternative hypothesis, that the Solar System’s protoplanetary disk had already formed when a very close (< 1...
