Some of the contributions of Hans Bethe to our understandingof core collapse supernovae:

Wilson discovered in 1982 that neutrino energy deposition on a time scale longer than previously suspected could re-energize the shock. Hans joined with Jim in the first refereed publication to state this..

Inside the shock, matter is in approximate hydrostatic equilibrium.Inside the gain radius there is net energy loss to neutrinos. Outsidethere is net energy gain from neutrino deposition. At any one time thereis about 0.1 solar masses in the gain region absorbing a few percentof the neutrino luminosity.

No one has yet done a 3-dimensional simulation of the full stellar core includingneutrino transport that the community would agree is “good”.
But they are getting there and the attemptsare providing insights.

Stationary Accretion Shock Instability (SASI)
Supernova shock wave will become unstable.Instability will
1. help drive explosion,2. lead to gross asphericities.

Burrows et al. (2006) find considerableenergy input from neutron star vibrations – enough even to explode the star, andsurely enough to influence the r-process
![Page 22: The Death of Massive Stars and the Birth of the Elements Stan Woosley Cornell, June 2, 2006](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103123/56649d3a5503460f94a14346/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
And so – maybe – most massive stars blow up the way Hans and others talked about:
Rotation and magnetic fields unimportant in the explosion (but might be important after an explosion is launched)
Kicks and polarization from “spontaenous symmetry breaking” in conditions that started spherical.
Just need better codes on bigger faster computers to see it all work.
But ….

Need iron core rotation at death to correspond to a pulsar of < 5 ms period if rotation and B-fields are to matter at all. Need a period of ~ 1 ms to make GRBs. This is much faster than observed in common pulsars.

Heger, Woosley, & Spruit (2004)using magnetic torques as derived inSpruit (2002)
Stellar evolution including approximate magnetic torques gives slow rotation for common supernova progenitors.
Still faster rotation at death ispossible for stars born with unusually fast rotation – Woosley & Heger (2006)Yoon & Langer (2005)

The spin rates calculated for the lighter (more common)supernovae are consistent with what is estimated for young pulsars
So, one could put together a consistent picture …

• Evolved from main sequence through explosion with two choices of mass cut (S/NAkT = 4 and Fe-core) and two explosion energies (1.2 B, 2.4 B) – 128 supernova models

• Use the Kepler implicit hydrodynamics code (1D)
• Use best current information on nuclear reaction rates and opacities
• Include best current estimates of mass loss at all stages of the evolution

The edge of the iron core sets a lower bound to the mass cut. Otherwise, too many neutron-rich isotopes …
The location where the entropyS/NAkT = 4, typically at the baseof the oxygen shell sets an upperlimit. Stars that explode in realsimulations typically develop their mass cut here. A larger valuegives neutron stars that are too massive.

1.2 B of kinetic energy at infinity gives good light curvesin agreement with observations.
2.4 B gives too bright a supernova making Type IIalmost as brilliant as Type Ia.
Though not shown here 0.6 B would give quite faintsupernovae, usually with very weak “tails”.

Conclusions
• Overall good agreement with solar abundances – see also WW95.
• Lightest neutron star 1.16 solar masses; average 1.4 solar masses. Black holes a likely product for some current generation stars in the 30 – 50 solar mass range (more black holes at metallicities lower than the sun)
• Overproduction of C and O suggests that current estimates of Wolf-Rayet mass loss rates may be too large (and/or Lodders (2003) abundances for C and O too small).

With nearly equal fluxes of neutrinos,each having about the same energy,and with the lifting of degeneracythe neutron-proton mass differencefavors protons in weak equilibrium.Later, the neutrino energy difference favors neutrons.

Summary – Neutrino Wind
• Very rich site for nucleosynthesis – about half of all the isotopes in nature are made here
• Can produce both (part of) the p-process and the r-process nearly simultaneously in one site.
• In both cases, the nucleosynthesis suggests a higher entropy (and outflow with more internal energy per baryon) than traditional models have provided
•Nuclear physics very uncertain – need RIA
• This has important implications for the explosion model
