Molecular nucleation theory of dust formation in core-collapse supernovae applied to SN 1987A
We model dust formation in the core collapse supernova explosion SN 1987A by treating the gas-phase formation of dust grain nuclei as a chemical process. To compute the synthesis of fourteen species of grains we integrate a non-equilibrium network of nucleating and related chemical reactions and follow the growth of …
