Figure 14: Convective instabilities inside the proto-neutron star in the 2D simulation of Müller and Janka [176]. 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 10 2.5 × 10 to 11 1.8× 10 K. The values of the logarithm of the density range from 10.5 to -3 13.3 g cm. The temperature and density both increase as the colors change from blue to green, yellow, and red.
