Three dimensional simulations of core-collapse supernovae
- PLACE 研究本館会議室1
Star’s multimillion-year life is terminated abruptly and violently within seconds and then announced over months via the brilliant optical emission by the supernova explosion. How does this process proceed? That is long mystery and attractive frontier of astrophysics. Neutrino heating mechanism seem to be promising scenario, however, theoretical modeling is still controversial since the simulations of neutrino radiation transport are extremely difficult. The master equation of the neutrino transport is 6 dimensional Boltzmann equation and that require extraordinary expensive computational resources. Supernovae modeling have been done with the limitation of special and phase dimension of the system to economize computational resources. Now we open the door of 3 dimensional, “Natural” simulations of core-collapse supernovae with a help of recent development of numerical techniques and enlarged computational resources provided by K-computer and XC30 in NAOJ. In this seminar, we report our recent effort for realistic supernovae modeling.
