Explosion mechanisms of core-collapse supernovae

HT Janka - Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, 2012 - annualreviews.org
Supernova theory, numerical and analytic, has made remarkable progress in the past
decade. This progress was made possible by more sophisticated simulation tools, especially …

Neutron star observations: Prognosis for equation of state constraints

JM Lattimer, M Prakash - Physics reports, 2007 - Elsevier
We investigate how current and proposed observations of neutron stars can lead to an
understanding of the state of their interiors and the key unknowns: the typical neutron star …

Core-collapse supernova equations of state based on neutron star observations

AW Steiner, M Hempel, T Fischer - The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Many of the currently available equations of state for core-collapse supernova simulations
give large neutron star radii and do not provide large enough neutron star masses, both of …

Theory of core-collapse supernovae

HT Janka, K Langanke, A Marek, G Martínez-Pinedo… - Physics Reports, 2007 - Elsevier
Advances in our understanding and the modeling of stellar core-collapse and supernova
explosions over the past 15 years are reviewed, concentrating on the evolution of …

Skyrme interaction and nuclear matter constraints

M Dutra, O Lourenço, JS Sá Martins, A Delfino… - Physical Review C …, 2012 - APS
This paper presents a detailed assessment of the ability of the 240 Skyrme interaction
parameter sets in the literature to satisfy a series of criteria derived from macroscopic …

Supernova simulations confront SN 1987A neutrinos

DFG Fiorillo, M Heinlein, HT Janka, G Raffelt… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We return to interpreting the historical SN 1987A neutrino data from a modern perspective.
To this end, we construct a suite of spherically symmetric supernova models with the …

Nuclear weak-interaction processes in stars

K Langanke, G Martínez-Pinedo - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2003 - APS
Recent experimental data and progress in nuclear structure modeling have led to improved
descriptions of astrophysically important weak-interaction processes. This review discusses …

Neutrino signal of electron-capture supernovae from core collapse to cooling

L Hüdepohl, B Müller, HT Janka, A Marek, GG Raffelt - Physical Review Letters, 2010 - APS
An 8.8 M⊙ electron-capture supernova was simulated in spherical symmetry consistently
from collapse through explosion to essentially complete deleptonization of the forming …

A successful 3D core-collapse supernova explosion model

D Vartanyan, A Burrows, D Radice… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
In this paper, we present the results of our three-dimensional, multigroup, multineutrino-

Core-collapse supernova explosion theory

A Burrows, D Vartanyan - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Most supernova explosions accompany the death of a massive star. These explosions give
birth to neutron stars and black holes, and eject solar masses of heavy elements. However …
