Scientific paper

The stationary accretion shock instability (SASI) plays an important role in modern simulations of core-collapse supernovae. With the intent to study magnetic field generation and the possible impact of magnetic fields during the crucial nonlinear phase leading to the explosion of massive stars, we have carried out high-resolution, three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the SASI. Turbulent flows emerging from the operation of the spiral SASI mode result in exponential growth of the magnetic energy. From initial conditions in the range expected for slowly rotating progenitor stars, we find that saturation of the magnetic energy can occur within a typical explosion time scale. Implications for neutrino-powered supernovae and neutron star magnetization are considered.
