Influence of the symmetry energy on the birth of neutron stars and supernova neutrinos.
Abstract
We study the influence of the symmetry energy of the equation of state on the thermal evolution of protoneutron stars and the properties of supernova neutrinos by the numerical simulations after the protoneutron stars are formed. As for the equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter, we take two EOS's with different symmetry energies obtained by the relativistic mean field theory. We find that the symmetry energy plays an essential role on the evolution of lepton profiles and the neutrino fluxes.
