    The First Supernovae
    (2013-09) Chen, Ke-Jung
    One of the frontiers in modern cosmology is understanding the end of the cosmic dark age, when the first luminous objects (e.g., stars, supernovae (SNe), and galaxies) re-shaped the primordial Universe into the present one of much complexity. In this dissertation, I use numerical simulations to study the evolution of the first supernovae and their cosmological consequences. To push the model frontiers of the first SNe, I apply new numerical approaches to advance models of the first SNe. The goal of my dissertation is to provide a better understanding of the first SNe that may be observed by the large telescopes of the future.
