An Investigation of Neutrino‐driven Convection and the Core Collapse Supernova Mechanism Using Multigroup Neutrino Transport

An Investigation of Neutrino‐driven Convection and the Core Collapse Supernova Mechanism Using Multigroup Neutrino Transport

We investigate neutrino-driven convection in core collapse supernovae and its ramifications for the explosion mechanism. We begin with a postbounce model that is optimistic in two important respects: (1) we begin with a 15 M☉ precollapse model, which is representative of the class of stars with compact iron cores; (2) …
