Neutrinos, Nuclei, and Neutron stars from Core-collapse Supernovae

Carla Frohlich
North Carolina State University

Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are the death of massive stars by gravitational collapse. These energetic events play an important role in the evolution of galaxies, they are a major site for the synthesis of chemical elements, and they are the source of neutron stars and black holes. CCSNe are also factories of neutrinos and laboratories of matter under extreme conditions.However, numerical simulations of core-collapse supernovae remain a challenging and computationally expensive problem. This is an open question in itself, but also affects the prediction of observable signatures across many messengers, from electromagnetic transients to neutrinos and nuclei, to gravitational waves and black holes.

In this talk, I will present recent highlights from our research at NCSU and the contributions we have made to the modeling and understanding of supernovae and nucleosynthesis. I will focus on the multi-messenger predictions from nuclei to electromagnetic signals to neutrinos and neutron stars, and on the pipeline we have developed for this. I will also present the first hydrodynamic core-collapse supernova simulation which simultaneously includes neutrino flavor transformations. I will conclude by highlighting some exciting future directions.
