Abstract:
Results are presented from a two-dimensional numerical simulation of the collapse of a rotating core with formation of a neutron star that has strong differential rotation in its outer regions. A specially developed numerical method is used which is based on a fully conservative implicit operator difference scheme for gravitational gas dynamics problems in lagrangian coordinates on a variable-structure triangular grid. The recoil shock wave generated by the collapse causes ejection of a small amount of material. This cannot explain the explosion of type II supernovae. The strong differential rotation in the presence of even a weak initial magnetic field obtained in these calculations must lead to a rise in the magnetic pressure, formation of an MHD shock wave, and conversion of rotational energy into the energy of radial expansion (magnetorotational supernova explosion).Keywords: neutron stars theory
