abstract
Merging our supernova code F{\sc{ornax}} with the Box3D fast-flavor neutrino oscillation formalism, we explore the effects of fast-flavor conversion (FFC) in state-of-the-art 1D and 2D core-collapse supernova simulations. We find that after a few tens of milliseconds after bounce the FFC emerges just interior to and exterior to the stalled shock wave. It does not obtain in the PNS core nor near the average neutrinosphere radii. Interior to the shock, this results in a temporary change in the net neutrino heating rate of $\sim$10\%, due mostly to a hardening of the $\nu_e$ and $\bar{\nu}_e$ neutrino spectra, despite the decrease in their corresponding neutrino number fluxes. In 1D, the hydrodynamic effects are not large, with increases in the stalled shock radius by of order ten to twenty kilometers that abate within a few hundred milliseconds. In 2D, the hydrodynamic effect of the FFC is a bit more noticeable, resulting in slightly earlier explosions for models for lower-mass progenitors, but also potentially inhibiting explosions for some higher-mass progenitors. Fast-flavor conversion continues to operate at larger radii at later times. The net result is a shift upward in the $\nu_{\mu}$ energy and number luminosities and a shift downward in the same quantities for both the $\nu_e$ and $\bar{\nu}_e$ neutrinos. There seems to be a trend at very large radii and later times towards partial species and spectral equipartition. If this is true, it could be an interesting feature of supernova neutrino detection at later times in underground and under-ice facilities.

Solar-System Abundances of $p$-Nuclides Probe Collective Neutrino Oscillations in Supernovae
Nearby neutrino flavor conversion in a supernova can boost νp-process yields of p-nuclides like 92Mo and 92Nb by up to two orders of magnitude, matching solar abundances when conversion starts within ~10 km of the pro...

Electron-neutrino lepton number crossings: Variations with the supernova core physics
In a suite of 12 supernova models, electron-neutrino lepton number crossings appear at larger radii when proto-neutron star convection is included and at smaller radii when muon production is included.

Comparative Testing of Subgrid Models for Fast Neutrino Flavor Conversions in Core-collapse Supernova Simulations
A 1D supernova simulation with four-species BGK subgrid modeling shows that three-species assumptions overestimate flavor conversion and that semi-implicit time integration is the most reliable.

Natal kick by early-asymmetrical pairs of jets to the neutron star of supernova remnant S147
Two close-in-time episodes of unequal, opposite jets, not a single jet pair, can explain the bipolar ears and the ~570 km/s kick of the neutron star in remnant S147.
