Funded Activity Summary

Before stars go supernova - in 3D. This project aims to understand the full three-dimensional structure of massive stars when they explode. In particular, the project will model the late evolution and burning stages of massive stars before they explode as core collapse supernovae. The violent nature of the thermonuclear burning during the star's last few minutes and seconds may cause significant deviations from spherical symmetry, in particular when considering rotating stars. Such realistic models are an essential ingredient for any realistic supernova model, and for understanding how these supernovae synthesise the entire range of elements (from lightest to the heaviest) in the universe.
