focused on center watching large scale blast Hydrodynamic model of a SN collapse and explosion

Comments: The top set of images links to a movie that follows the initial stages of the core collapse. The bottom set links to a movie, which begins near the end of the previous movie, and the scale has been enlarged to follow the multi-dimensional explosion.

Hydrodynamic Model of a SNIa blast interacting with a main sequence star II

Comments: This movie is different from the one above in that the distance between the exploding star and the companion star is greater.

Hydrodynamic Model of a SNIa blast interacting with a main sequence star III
Credit: Evonne Marietta
Comments: This movie focusses on the inner interaction regions during the impact with a main sequence star. In addition, the velocity is represented by a vector field
