Abstract: | Spectropolarimetry of core collapse supernovae has shown that they are asymmetric and often bi-polar. This raises the issue
of whether some jet-like phenomena are at work involving rotation and magnetic fields. We summarize the importance of the
magnetorotational instability for the core collapse problem and sketch some of the effects that large magnetic fields, ~1015 G, may have on the physics of the supernova explosion. |
