Shock revival in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) may be due to the neutrino mechanism. While it is known that in a neutrino-powered CCSN, explosion begins when the neutrino luminosity of the proto-neutron star exceeds a critical value, the physics of this condition in time-dependent, multidimensional simulations are not fully understood. \citet{Pejcha2012} found that an antesonic condition' exists for time-steady spherically symmetric models, potentially giving a physical explanation for the…

The antesonic condition for the explosion of core-collapse supernovae – II. Rotation and turbulence
• Physics
• 2021
In the problem of steady free-fall onto a standing shockwave around acentral mass, the "antesonic" condition limits the regime of stable accretion to $c_T^2/v_\mathrm{esc}^2\leq3/16$, where $c_T$ is
Revival of the fittest: exploding core-collapse supernovae from 12 to 25 M⊙
• Physics
• 2018
We present results of 2D axisymmetric core-collapse supernova simulations, employing the FORNAX code, of nine progenitor models spanning 12 to 25 M$_{\odot}$ and evolved over a 20,000-km grid. We
Simulating Turbulence-aided Neutrino-driven Core-collapse Supernova Explosions in One Dimension
• Physics
The Astrophysical Journal
• 2020
The core-collapse supernova (CCSN) mechanism is fundamentally 3D, with instabilities, convection, and turbulence playing crucial roles in aiding neutrino-driven explosions. Simulations of CCNSe
Effects of Rotation and Magnetic Field on the Revival of a Stalled Shock in Supernova Explosions
• Physics
The Astrophysical Journal
• 2019
These results may be also interpreted as an existence of the critical specific angular momentum or critical magnetic field, above which there exists no steady solution and the standing shock wave will revive for a given combination of mass accretion rate and neutrino luminosity.
The Explosion Mechanism of Core-Collapse Supernovae and Its Observational Signatures
The death of massive stars is shrouded in many mysteries. One of them is the mechanism that overturns the collapse of the degenerate iron core into an explosion, a process that determines the
Binary-stripped Stars as Core-collapse Supernovae Progenitors
• Physics
The Astrophysical Journal Letters
• 2021
Most massive stars experience binary interactions in their lifetimes that can alter both the surface and core structure of the stripped star with significant effects on their ultimate fate as

We derive an integral condition for core-collapse supernova (CCSN) explosions and use it to construct a new diagnostic of explodability. The fundamental challenge in CCSN theory is to explain how a
