Magnetorotational supernovae with different equations of state
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 September 2012
Abstract
We present results of the simulation of a magneto-rotational supernova explosion. We show that, due to the differential rotation of the collapsing iron core, the magnetic field increases with time. The magnetic field transfers angular momentum and a MHD shock wave forms. This shock wave produces the supernova explosion. The explosion energy computed in our simulations is 0.5-2.5 ċ 1051erg. We used two different equations of state for the simulations. The results are rather similar.
