Multigroup Radiation Transport in Supernova Light Curve Calculations
TL;DRAbstract
The supernova associated with long duration gamma0ray bursts are always found to be Type Ic supernova (SN). Type Ic SN are observed to have extremely small amounts of He in their spectra. Astrophysicists have been exploring ways to either hide the He in the observations or eject the He prior to the SN. Recent calculations by Patrick Young using new mixing algorithms suggest that many massive stars may burn the He layer to O during its evolution and therefore naturally account for the lack of He in the spectra of the SN. The LANL supernova light curve codes are being used to generate simulated observations of these new models.
