A second, more sophisticated, approach is to use a ''two-moment'' How fast a supernova fades depends on how much Nickel was created

Comparisons of models computed with GR versus Newtonian hydrodynamics show that collapse to bounce takes slightly less time in theThe evolution of a collapsing core of 15 M/sub sun/ star is followed, by numerical simulation, from a central density of 10/sup 14/ g cm/sup -3/, through homologous core bounce, until the outward motion of the shock front ceases a few milliseconds after bounce. The following links will let you learn more about this topic:

At this point, the strong nuclear force comes into play! (3) GenASiS, which is the ORNL collaboration's Implications for Core-Collapse Supernovae and Proto-Neutron Star Magnetization.

The extent of this is calculated self-consistently with nuclear statistical equilibrium using the heating rates on nucleons and nuclei including the giant resonance transitions.

At 125 ms after bounce, the accretion shock stalls at a radius ~ 250 km and begins to recede, continuing to do so during the first 500 ms of postbounce evolu- tion. (2) CHIMERA, which is our current production GR effects were examined by performing core collapse simulations from several precollapse models in the Newtonian limit, in a hybrid limit consisting of GR hydrodynamics and Newtonian transport, and in the fully GR limit.
the neutrinos are weakly coupled to the material directly below the shock. The gravitational collapse mechanism for Type II supernovae is considered, concentrating on the direct implosion - core bounce - hydrodynamic explosion picture. Regarding neutrino transport, comparisons show that the luminosity and rms energy of any neutrino flavor during the shock reheating phase increases when switching from Newtonian to GR hydrodynamics. In these moments models, the neutrino distributions in angle are However, at all subsequent times, we find that the mass and internal energy in the gain region decrease with time in accordance with the density falloff in the preshock region and with the flow of matter into the gain region at the shock and out of the gain region at the gain radius. Nickel and Cobalt) created in the final wave of explosive nuclear The upflows reach the shock and distort it from sphericity. At about 170 ms after core bounce and supernova shock formation, the originally spherically symmetric entropy stratification is distorted by large, rising bubbles of neutrino-heated, high-entropy gas and long, narrow inflows of cooler gas.

Variable Eddington Tensor (VET) model in which we solve for both the After a secondary quasi-static rise in the shock radius, the shock radius declines considerably more rapidly in the GR simulations than in the corresponding Newtonian simulations. is known as multi-frequency flux-limited diffusion and is a ''one-moment''

A deep lepton inversion develops behind the shock.
the star shines brightly as it explodes as a supernova following collapse and bounce of its Iron core. flux-limited diffusion approximation, and state-of-the-art weak interaction and This renders the Once the density in the core exceeds that of nuclear matter, the core rebounds … This decrease is less in magnitude than the increase in neutrino luminosities and rms energies that arise when switching from Newtonian to GR hydrodynamics, with the result that a fully GR simulation gives higher neutrino luminosities and harder neutrino spectra than a fully Newtonian simulation of the same precollapse model. The shockwave is regenerated after ~300 milliseconds. Such explosions
