| Abstract: |
We present our code coupling neutrino transport and magneto-hydrodynamics. Neutrino transfer is solved in the two-moment approach using a local algebraic closure that yields a hyperbolic system of equations. The code is intended to be applied to a broad range of astrophysical applications, among which the most relevant one is the study of the highly dynamic phases of supernovae. We have validated the coupled code by running a number of test problems, and fundamentally, by comparing the results of the approximate neutrino transport to state-of-the-art Boltzmann solvers, finding an extremely good performance. We also show here a first application to stellar core collapse. |
