Introduction to Core Collapse Supernovae
Why do we care?
Stellar Evolution
Intro to the "Bee Movie" (2007)
physics
star
explode
The energy released is

explodes
stars
State of affairs in the previous millennium
1D sims bomb
2/3D sims explode
Couch 2017
Turbulence
Couch 2017
Turbulence doesn't add more energy to the system, so how does it help the star explode?
Borrielloa et al 2014
The problem with Simulations
Borrielloa et al 2014
- Expensive
- Volatile
- Not reproducible
Introduction to Self Similar Solutions
Origin Story
Scaling Relations
Self Similarity
Suzuki & Shigeyama 2014
Hydrodynamic Equations
Reduction to ODES
Boundary Conditions
Rankine Hugoniot conditions for a strong shock
Hydrodynamic profiles
Energy Integral
Thin shell approximation
Graded Density Profile
Self Similar Model for a core collapse supernova shock wave
Scaling Relations
Explosion + point gravity
Breaks self similarity
Except for special set of parameters
Free fall trajectory
Graded density trajectory
Virial parameter
This is a realistic profile
Mezzacappa et al. 2001
Pre - Explosion profile
Janka et al. 2012
Hydrodynamic Equations
Reduction to ODEs
Boundary Conditions
Rankine Hugoniot for a strong shock
But the upstream material is also affected by gravity
Free fall trajectory
Useful parameter: current to original radius ratio
Compression
Shock Trajectory
Self Similar Boundary Conditions
Hydrodynamic Profiles
Energy Integral
Energy Curve

The Role of Turbulence
More diffusion is like higher gamma
Couch et al 2020
Implications for Core Collapse Supernovae
Neglected Effects
- Neutrino heating
- turbulence
- radiation transfer
- nuclear reactions
- semi degenerate
equation of state - Acoustic waves in the shocked region
(Gossan, Fuller & Roberts 2019)
Heating
Turbulent Diffusion
Model like the Shakura Sunyaev alpha model
Classical diffusion breaks self similarity
workaround:
Higher order effect
Optical depth
Ideal shock
Turbulent shock
Conclusion
An analytic self similar model for a core collapse supernovae
Critical energy, depending on shock structure
Turbulent shock more resilient against gravity
Model can be improved within self similar framework
