Neutrino-Driven Winds in Three-Dimensional Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations

Understand

In this paper, we analyze the neutrino-driven winds that emerge in twelve unprecedentedly long-duration 3D core-collapse supernova simulations done using the code Fornax.

• The twelve models cover progenitors with ZAMS mass between 9 and 60 solar masses.
• In all our models, we see transonic outflows that are at least two times as fast as the surrounding ejecta and that originate generically from a PNS surface atmosphere that is turbulent and rotating.
• We find that winds are common features of 3D simulations, even if there is anisotropic early fallback.
