Explosion Mechanism of Core-collapse Supernovae: Role of the Si/Si–O Interface
We present a simple criterion to predict the explodability of massive stars based on the density and entropy profiles before collapse. If a pronounced density jump is present near the Si/Si–O interface, the star will likely explode. We develop a quantitative criterion by using ∼1300 1D simulations w...
