The role of magnetic fields in core collapse supernovae — •Ewald Mueller — Max-Planck-Institut fuer Astrophysik, 85748 Garching, Deutschland

Simulations of core collapse supernovae pose a true challenge as they require a proper treatment of multi-dimensional neutrino radiation hydrodynamics, and possibly magneto-hydrodynamic processes. In my talk I will address the current status of core collapse supernova modeling, discuss magneto-hydrodynamic processes that can amplify a magnetic seed field during a core collapse supernova explosion, and present recent results from MHD core collapse simulations.
