Scientific paper

Core-collapse supernovae are accompanied by formation of neutron stars. The gravitational energy is transformed into the energy of the explosion, observed as SN II, SN Ib,c type supernovae. We present results of 2D MHD simulations, where the source of energy is rotation and the magnetic field serves as a “transition belt” for the transformation of the rotation energy into the energy of the explosion. The toroidal part of the magnetic energy initially grows linearly with time due to differential rotation. When the twisted toroidal component strongly exceeds the poloidal field, magneto-rotational instability develops, leading to a drastic acceleration in the growth of magnetic energy. Finally, a fast MHD shock is formed, producing a supernova explosion. A mildly collimated jet is produced for the dipolelike type of the initial field.
