A volume rendering of the densities of ⁴⁸Ca and ⁴⁴Ti from a CHIMERA simulation of the supernova originating from a first generation, 9.6 solar mass star. The stratification of the Calcium and Titanium highlights separate phases of the explosion where these isotopes are created. ⁴⁸Ca is created early in the explosion, as instabilities in the supernova shock lift matter from the newly-formed neutron star. ⁴⁴Ti is formed later, as the neutrino-wind heats the matter behind the supernova shock.
