Caption: Figure 28.
Color maps of the electron fraction at selected postbounce times from the axisymmetric thornado+FLASH-X simulation. Clockwise from the top-left panel: 3 ms, 25 ms, 75 ms, and 150 ms. In each panel, cells where the FLASH-X variable SHOK, which flags finite-volume cells containing a shock, equals unity, are plotted in black, and the dashed white contour indicates RPNS, defined by ρ = 1011 g cm−3.
