What's New
We submitted a new paper to ApJ presenting 3-d models of the
convective phase of Type Ia supernovae. This paper shows that
the ignition is most likely to take place off-center.
Our paper on
multi-dimensional models of X-ray bursts, led by
graduate student Chris Malone, has been published in ApJ.
We recently published two new code papers describing the
low Mach number hydrodynamics code
MAESTRO
and the compressible hydrodynamics code
CASTRO.
Both of these codes result from a collaboration with
CCSE/LBNL.
Our Maestro code and its application to convection in white
dwarfs was featured in a
