A new radiation-hydrodinamics code to study core-collapse supernova events

With the aim of clarifying the nature of the core-collapse supernova events, we have developed a specifically tailored relativistic, radiation-hydrodynamics Lagrangian code, that enables us to simulate the evolution of the main observables (light curve, evolution of photospheric velocity and temperature) in these events. The code features, some testcase simulations and the possible applications of the code are briefly discussed.
