Analytic Closures for M1 Neutrino Transport

Understand

Carefully accounting for neutrino transport is an essential component of many astrophysical studies.

• Solving the full transport equation is too expensive for most realistic applications, especially those involving multiple spatial dimensions.
• For such cases, resorting to approximations is often the only viable option for obtaining solutions.
• One such approximation, which recently became popular, is the M1 method.
