1 Core-collapse supernova simulations in three dimensions Eric J Lentz University of Tennessee, Knoxville S. Bruenn (FAU), W. R. Hix (ORNL/UTK), O. E. B. Messer (ORNL), A. Mezzacappa (UTK), J. Blondin (NCSU), J. Casanova (ORNL), E. Endeve (ORNL), J. A. Harris (LBL), C. Keeling, R. Landfield (UTK), P. Marronetti (NSF), C. Mauney(OrSt), K. Yakunin (UTK)

2 Why study supernovae? Why do some stars explode? What leads up to the collapse? How does collapse of the core result in an explosion? Study exotic physics (nuclear matter, neutrinos, GR) and signals (neutrino, GW) Understand the generation of elements and their ejection. SN 1987a in LMC

3 Reviving stalled shock with neutrino heating standing accretion shock Adapted from Hillebrandt, Janka, & Müller, 2006, Sci. Am 295, 4, 42

4 Ingredients Matching the physical conditions to numerical inputs to reflect the physical fidelity of the system. Supernovae Simulations Pre-supernova stellar history Stellar evolution models General Relativity Full/Approximate/Newtonian Fluid dynamics & Instabilities Grids/Resolution/Symmetry Equation of State Nuclear/Electron/Network Neutrino Transport Relativity/Moments/Spectral/Ray-by-Ray Neutrino-matter interactions Which ones are needed?

5 CHIMERA CHIMERA has 3 heads Spectral Neutrino Transport (MGFLD-TRANS, Bruenn) in Ray-by-Ray Approximation using modern neutrino opacities Shock-capturing Hydrodynamics (VH1 [PPM], Blondin) Nuclear Kinetics (XNet, Hix & Thielemann) Multipole gravity w/ Spherical GR correction Equations of State: Lattimer-Swesty (K=220 MeV) Cooperstein/BCK: ρ<10 11 g/cm 3 Passive Lagrangian Tracers for post-processing Ray-by-Ray Approximation

6 Yellow/green, Red: hot plumes; blue =~ shock Lentz et al., (2015), ApJL, 807, L31

7 3D resolution Study Highest Medium Lowest 180 theta x 180 phi 90 theta x 180 phi 60 theta x 135 phi 400 km

8 Key Explosion Diagnostics Shock revives slower at lower resolution Explosion energy grows slower at lower resolution Lentz et al., in prep.

9 Neutrino driving impact Luminosities are very similar Lower resolution models are less efficient at heating

10 Contemporary model at 1-degree resolution shows early small convective features... Lentz et al., in prep.

11 ... "pre-explosion" state shows development of large plumes and an axis alignment Large, hot plumes, w/ (non-grid) dipole orientation, near shock revival

12 9.6 solar mass, zero metal Primordial composition, low-mass on border between core-collapse and white dwarf. Low densities outside Fe-core trigger quick explosion, even in 1D. Previously examined in 3D by Melson, Janka, & Marek (2015) [ApJL, 801, L24] (2-deg. Yin/Yang) showing a rapid explosion explosion boosted by multi-dimensional convection/ turbulence. 1-degree Yin/Yang, 160-species network, 259k tracer particles

13 Si-flash during collapse During collapse oxygen burning at base of Silicon shell triggers a "silicon flash" propagating outward. Burns material to Fe-peak and silicon.

14 Shock launches quickly. The silicon flash pulse remains ahead of the neutrino-powered shock until about 250 ms after bounce (~3000 km) radius.

15 Late evolution: Electron fraction (left wedge) Neutron-rich (orange) ejecta form from early plumes. Proton rich material in proto-ns wind after 400 ms.

16 Explosion energy 2D model is similar, but slightly more energetic than 3D. 0.2 B explosion, is on low end of observation, expected for some low mass stars, perhaps similar to SN 1054 (Crab) Melson+ 2015, E=0.1 FOE Lentz, Hix, Harris, et al. in prep.

17 Nucleosynthesis Late images of abundances in parallel 2D model (717 ms) Inner (wind) regions have not yet combined into heavier nuclei Ni-60 Ni-64 proton alpha

18 Summary The CHIMERA group continues to make progress in 3D (and 2D) supernova simulation with several projects coming soon to an arxiv near you... * Full model 3D resolution study. Examining resolution, turbulence, convection, and other instabilities. * The zero-metal 9.6 M_sun star explodes readily in 3D (and 2D) with large in situ network and a Silicon burning flash during collapse. * Turbulence and resolution effects in high resolution 3D wedge models (next talk) Also: * Neutrino signals from published 3D model. * Detailed nucleosynthesis from tracers in published 2D models * Gravitational wave signals of published 3D model (arxiv: ) * Error estimate analysis for tracer nucleosynthesis (arxiv: ) * Chimera methods paper
