Show affiliationsThere are two principal scientific objectives in the study of Type Ia supernovae – first, a better understanding of these complex explosions from as near first principles as possible, and second, enabling the more accurate utilization of their emission to measure distances in cosmology. Both tasks lend themselves to large scale numerical simulation, yet take us beyond the current frontiers in astrophysics, combustion science, and radiation transport. Their study requires novel approaches and the creation of new, highly scalable codes.
