Conditions for shock revival by neutrino heating in core-collapse supernovae
Conditions for shock revival by neutrino heating in core-collapse supernovae
Energy deposition by neutrinos can rejuvenate the stalled bounce shock and can provide the energy for the supernova explosion of a massive star. This neutrino-heating mechanism, though investigated by numerical simulations and analytic studies, is not finally accepted or proven as the trigger of the explosion. Part of the problem …
