LANL's primary effort to numerically model supernova
explosions is based in the Theoretical Astrophysics
Group (T-6). Both thermonuclear supernovae and core-
collapse supernovae are studied, with special
emphasis placed on multi-dimensional simulations.
Both types of supernova require a wide range of
input physics, which is provided by research efforts
throughout the lab. In particular this research benefits
from other LANL efforts studying massive star evolution,
equations of state and aspects of neutrino physics.
