Introduction

We, the Computational Explosive Astrophysics Group (CEAG) at National Tsing Hua University in Hsinchu, Taiwan, work on many topics in theoretical and computational explosive astrophysics. In particular, we focus on multimessenger signals from extreme transients, core-collapse supernovae theory, thermonuclear supernova progenitors, novae, close binary systems, and stellar evolutions. Please check our group website for more detailed information.  

In the past few years, Prof. Kuo-Chuan Pan's group at the IoA, NTHU, has focused on studies of gravitational wave and neutrino emissions from Core-Collapse Supernovae (CCSN). The detection of gravitational waves from a nearby CCSN will be the next milestone in gravitational wave physics and multimessenger astronomy. Prof. Pan’s group has developed a multi-dimensional, self-consistent hydrodynamics simulation code with neutrino radiation transport, which is one of the only a few limited radiation-hydrodynamics codes that could handle self-consistent CCSN simulations with neutrino transport.
