Figure 19: Convective instabilities inside the proto neutron star in the 2D simulation of Müller and Janka [208]. The evolutions of the temperature (left panels) and logarithmic density (right panels) distributions are shown for the radial region 15 – 95 km. The upper and lower panels correspond to times 12 and 21 ms, respectively, after the start of the simulation. The temperature values range from 2.5 × 1010 to 1.8 × 1011 K. The values of the logarithm of the density range from 10.5 to 13.3 g cm–3. The temperature and density both increase as the colors change from blue to green, yellow, and red.
