نویسنده
چکیده
A principal ‘supernova neutrino challenge’ is the computational difficulty of six-dimensional neutrino radiation hydrodynamics. The variety of resulting approximations has provoked a long history of uncertainty in the core-collapse supernova explosion mechanism, but recent work highlighting low-mode convection and a newlyrecognized instability in spherical accretion shocks may signal (yet another) resolution. As part of its goal of elucidating the explosion mechanism, the Terascale Supernova Initiative is committed to meeting the full complexity of the computational challenge. The understanding of supernova neutrino emission gained in detailed simulations provides a potential basis for learning about two major remaining unknowns in neutrino flavor mixing: the value of the mixing angle θ13, and distinguishing between “normal” and “inverted” mass hierarchies.

The attempt to secure conclusive, spectroscopic evidence for the GRB/SN connection has been a central theme in most GRB observing time proposals since the discovery of the very unusual GRB 980425 associated with the peculiar type Ib/c SN 1998bw. GRB 030329 provided this evidence to everybody’s satisfaction. In this contribution we show the results of a spectroscopic campaign of the supernova as...

A simple description of core-collapse supernovae is given. Properties of the neutrino-driven wind, neutrino fluxes and luminosities, reaction rates, and the equilibrium electron fraction in supernova environments are discussed. Neutrino mixing and neutrino interactions that are relevant to core-collapse supernovae are briefly reviewed. The values of electron fraction under several evolution sce...

We study a model of the dark energy which exhibits a rapid change in its equation of state w(z), such as occurs in vacuum metamorphosis. We compare the model predictions with CMB, large scale structure and supernova data and show that a late-time transition is marginally preferred over standard ΛCDM.
