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 Forbes article
