Funded Activity Summary
Explosive evidence: connecting stellar abundances to supernova progenitors. This project aims to determine the evolutionary scenarios of thermonuclear supernovae through numerical simulations. Supernova explosions create heavy elements, such as iron, that enable life on Earth, and are instrumental in proving that the Universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. For all their importance, the nature of their progenitors is still a mystery, which has implications for many fields of astrophysics. Through building inter-institutional and international collaborations, the project is expected to determine where, when, and how often these explosions occur. Benefits will include development of new technological methods and exploitation of Australian-led survey data from national facilities.Funded Activity Details
