Numerical studies on core collapse supernova in self-interacting massive scalar-tensor gravity

Abstract

We investigate stellar core collapse in scalar-tensor theory with a massive self-interacting scalar field. In these theories, strong long-lived inverse chirp signals could be induced during the stellar core collapse, which provides us with several potential smoking-gun signatures that could be found using current ground-based detectors. We show that the existence of self-interaction in the potential of the scalar field can significantly suppress spontaneous scalarization and the amplitude of the monopole gravitational-wave radiation. Moreover, this suppression due to self-interaction is frequency dependent and may be discernible in LIGO/Virgo's sensitive band. Therefore, self-interaction should be considered when constraining scalar-tensor coupling parameters with gravitational-wave detections. Alternatively, if such monopole gravitational-wave signals are detected, then one may be able to infer the presence of self-interaction.
