Journal ArticleDOI
Explosion Mechanisms of Core-Collapse Supernovae
TL;DR: The neutrino-heating mechanism, aided by nonradial flows, drives explosions, albeit low-energy ones, of ONeMg-core and some Fe-core progenitors as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progenitor-Explosion Connection and Remnant Birth Masses for Neutrino-Driven Supernovae of Iron-Core Progenitors
TL;DR: In this paper, a neutrino-driven supernova was simulated in spherical symmetry for over 100 single stars of solar metallicity to explore the proggenitor-explosion and progenitor-remnant connections established by the neutrinos-driven mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
R-Process Nucleosynthesis in Dynamically Ejected Matter of Neutron Star Mergers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors make use of relativistic hydrodynamical simulations of binary neutron star mergers and define consistently the conditions that determine the nucleosynthesis, i.e., neutron enrichment, entropy, early density evolution and thus expansion timescale, and ejecta mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physics of Core-Collapse Supernovae in Three Dimensions: a Sneak Preview
TL;DR: The first successful neutrino-driven supernova explosion was obtained with self-consistent, first-principle simulations in three spatial dimensions (3D).
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation hydrodynamics with neutrinos - Variable Eddington factor method for core-collapse supernova simulations
Markus Rampp,H.-Thomas Janka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed description of a new numerical code for treating the time and energy dependent neutrino transport in hydrodynamical simulations of such events based on a variable Eddington factor method to deal with the integro-differential character of the Boltzmann equation.
