This is the home page for Boom, the optimistically named one dimensional astrophysical code used for calculation of type II iron core collapse supernova. | This is the home page for Boom, the optimistically named one dimensional astrophysical code used for calculation of type II iron core collapse supernova. This code was used for my doctoral dissertation. | ||
The irony (haa iron) is that Boom doesn't go boom, and figuring out why is a topic of intense research in the professional research community. I thought that the name Boom was better than the old name of Collapse, which in turn is much better than Fizzle which is what the code actually does. | The irony (haa iron) is that Boom doesn't go boom, and figuring out why is a topic of intense research in the professional research community.

Much of the motivation for releasing this code is to encourage the formation of the field of [[AmateurAstrophysics]]. Also if you need a supernova code for any reason, this is the place to get it. | Much of the motivation for releasing this code is to encourage the formation of the field of [[AmateurAstrophysics]].
