Instabilities in the Aftermath of Core Collapse Supernovae

Roger Chevalier

The expansion of a supernova shock wave is subject to a variety of instabilities as it moves through a massive star and into the surrounding medium. The same is true for the expansion of a relativistic wind nebula created by a central pulsar. In many cases, the results of the instabilities can be directly observed, making these cases of special interest for computer simulations.
