Spectral synthesis of multidimensional supernova explosion models

Objective

Core-collapse supernovae are the explosive deaths of massive stars. They
are the main production sites of the heavy elements in the Universe, drive galactic
dynamic and chemical evolution, and produce exotic remnants such as black holes and neutron stars. To interpret observations and advance our understanding of the origin of the elements, sophisticated spectral
models are needed. The main science objective in this proposal is to compute
the first spectral models of multi-dimensional core-collapse explosion simulations.
These models will then be compared with available high-quality data to derive information on nucleosynthesis yields and supernova structure. The proposed work involves the development of spectral modelling tools from current 1D to multi-D capability, and application of these to recently computed state-of-the-art 3D explosion simulations.
This innovative project will allow a milestone in supernova research to be reached
by producing the first light curves and spectra of modern 3D simulations,
and will approach us to solving an almost 50 year standing mystery of
how supernovae explode and how the elements are produced.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

MSCA-IF-EF-ST - Standard EF

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
