SNEC -- The SuperNova Explosion Code

The SuperNova Explosion Code is a new spherically-symmetric Lagrangian radiation-hydrodynamics code designed to follow supernova explosions through the envelope of their progenitor star, produce bolometric (and approximate multi-color) light curve predictions, and provide input to spectral synthesis codes for spectral modeling. SNEC is part of the Simulating eXtreme Spacetime (SXS) Collaboration's effort to predict the multi-messenger signatures of extreme astrophysical phenomena. SNEC's development is partially supported by NSF award nos. AST-1205732 and AST-1212170, by the Sherman Fairchild Foundation, and by Caltech.

The primary SNEC authors are Viktoriya Morozova, Christian Ott, and Anthony L. Piro. The new SNEC version 1.01 contains contributions from Brian W. Mulligan (University of Texas, Austin).

SNEC's current features include:

 

→ SNEC is now available in updated version 1.01! Same Physics, but about twice as fast!! ←

The blcode -- the pure hydro version of SNEC

The blcode is a slightly modified implementation of the Mezzacappa & Bruenn (1993) hydrodynamics scheme. It is nearly identical to the hydrodynamics solver in SNEC. The implementation details are discussed in blcode_notes.pdf and a tarball with the source code can be downloaded here: blcode.tar.gz. Note that this tarball does not contain the source code and data table of Frank Timmes's Helmholtz EOS, which must be obtained separately from Frank's webpage.
