Core-collapse Supernova Progenitors from Binary Systems

AdvisorProf. Kuo-Chuan Pan
PeriodJul 2024 - Aug 2024

This project focused on running detailed MESA simulations of binary systems up to the point of core collapse. By comparing the effects of different mass ratios, we investigated how binary interactions significantly alter the pre-supernova structures of massive stars.
