Instabilities and Supernova Explosions

在其活跃生命的末期，一颗大质量星星会经历 突然崩溃。 这是其次是反弹，以产生一个 超新星爆炸 虽然基本机制已经被称为 有一段时间，超新星模型无法重现 观察这些事件的能量。 PI显示对流 不稳定性发生在反弹的星星的核心附近， 相信是爆炸的核心重要性， 纠正能源不足。 在此前的NSF支持下， 开发了一个流体动力学代码来研究 不稳定，现在建议着手进行多层面的 超新星爆炸的研究

At the end of its active life, a massive star will experience sudden collapse. This is followed by a rebound to produce a supernova explosion. While the basic mechanism has been known for some time, supernova models have been unable to reproduce the observed energies of these events. The PI showed that convective instabilities occur near the core of the rebounding star which he believes are of central importance to the explosion and which will rectify the energy deficiency. With previous NSF support, he has developed a hydrodynamic code to study the development of the instabilities and now proposes to embark on multi-dimensional studies of supernova explosions.
