Long-time hydrodynamical simulations of core-collapse supernovae — •Carlos Mattes¹, Almudena Arcones^1,2, Sean Couch³, and Albino Perego¹ — ¹Institut für Kernphysik, TU Darmstadt — ²GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH — ³Department of Physics and Astronomy, Michigan State University, USA

Core-collapse supernovae are one of the major contributors to the chemical enrichment in the universe. These explosions eject elements that were synthesized during the life of stars (e.g., oxygen and carbon) and they produce new and heavier elements (e.g., 1/3 of the iron in our galaxy).

We will present long-time hydrodynamic simulations of core-collapse supernovea with the multi-scale and multi-physics code FLASH [1] that follow the supernova explosion from the collapse phase to several seconds after bounce.
