Abstract
Castro is a highly parallel, adaptive mesh, multiphysics simulation code for compressible astrophysical flows. It has been used to simulate different progenitor models of Type Ia supernovae, X-ray bursts, core-collapse and electron capture supernovae, and dynamics in exoplanets. Together, Castro, the low Mach number code MAESTROeX (Fan, Nonaka, Almgren, Harpole, & Zingale, 2019), and the cosmology code Nyx (Almgren, Bell, Lijewski, Luki, & Van Andel, 2013) make up the AMReX-Astrophysics Suite of open-source, adaptive mesh, performance portable astrophysical simulation codes.
