-//(Preliminary)//+  * Perform a simulation of a supernova explosion near the Solar system ​(at, say, 10 parsecusing the VH1 hydrodynamics solver. 
 +  * Explore the effects of the explosion (in particular, near the orbit of the Earth) and how they vary depending on the energy of the supernova (relative to the force of the Solar wind), proximity, and density.
  
-Simulate the effects of a near-Earth supernova explosion at 10 parsec (the "kill radius"​) and the resulting collision of the blast with solar wind. Will the supernova reach 1 AU? How does the answer depend on the:+===== Log =====
