Convection-Aided Explosions in One-Dimensional Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations I: Technique and Validation

Understand

Most one-dimensional core-collapse simulations fail to explode, yet multi-dimensional simulations often explode.

• A dominant multi-dimensional effect aiding explosion is neutrino-driven convection.
• We incorporate a convection model in approximate one-dimensional core-collapse supernova (CCSN) simulations.
• This is the 1D+ method.
