The Magnetorotational Explosion of Core-Collapse Supernovae with Initially Weak Magnetic Field
- Department of Astronomy, School of Science, University of Tokyo (Japan)
Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are the final fate of the massive stars, but their explosion mechanisms are still uncertain. One of the clues to the solution of the explosion mechanism is to examine the asymmetric effects. This is because most of observed CCSNe are asymmetric explosions. One of the factors to the asymmetric explosions are the magnetorotational effects. The magnetic fields are amplified intensively along the rotational axsis during the collapse, and it leads to the bipolar outflows which may eject outer mantle. To understand the role of magnetorotational effects during CCSNe, we have developed a new multidimensional magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) code and calculate collapse of a 25 M{sub {center_dot}} star with various magnetic field and rotational velocity.
