Abstract: (arXiv)
We report on the vigorous supernova explosion of a 13 solar mass star, obtained in a general relativistic spherically symmetric simulation based on Boltzmann neutrino transport. Contrary to the prevailing opinion, the shock revival is more efficient than in the corresponding Newtonian simulation, producing an explosion energy of 10^{51} erg (1 foe) at 187 ms after bounce.
