The ASC/Alliances Center for Astrophysical Thermonuclear Flashes aims to solve the long-standing problem of thermonuclear flashes on the surfaces of compact stars such as neutron stars and white dwarf stars, and in the interior of white dwarfs (i.e., Type Ia supernovae). The Center is based at the University of Chicago, and involves collaboration between faculty and staff from several University of Chicago departments and institutes, the Mathematics and Computer Science division of Argonne National Laboratory, and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; we also collaborate with a number of individual scientists at other institutions, including the University of Arizona, the University of California at Santa Cruz, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, and the three DOE/DP laboratories, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratory. We are proud to be one of five Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Academic Strategic Alliances Program (ASAP) centers.
