Cr Research

Bob Greene of LANL has turned his viz talents on our SPH simulation outputs. Here is a sample of what his tools can do.

Pictured here is a single frame from a collision scenario. The two spheres embedded in the larger cloud are simply the cores of the constituent white dwarfs that have yet to merge. We hope to eventually make animations using this technique.

Our paper on white dwarf collisions, On Type Ia Supernovae From The Collisions of Two White Dwarfs, has been accepted by MNRAS. It should be published within a month or so.
