SLIDE 20 Convection & SASI
20
– Negative entropy gradient left by stalling shock drives prompt convection.
[e.g., Burrows & Hayes 1992]
– Growth and duration (5-50 ms) strongly dependent on seed perturbations.
- Protoneutron Star (PNS) Convection
– Negative lepton gradient drives PNS convection. [e.g., Dessart et al. 2005] – Physical scale: 10-50 km. Duration: 1 s.
- Neutrino-Driven Convection and SASI
[e.g., Herant et al. 1994, Burrows et al. 1995, Blondin et al. 2003, Buras et al. 2006, Burrows et al. 2006, Marek & Janka 2009]
– Neutrino heating -> negative entropy gradient behind shock. – Advective-acoustic cycle -> low-mode standing accretion shock instability. – Physical scale: 50-300 km. Duration: until explosion or BH formation.
