Abstract

We present self-consistent, 3D core-collapse supernova simulations of a 40 Msun progenitor model using the isotropic diffusion source approximation for neutrino transport and an effective general relativistic potential up to ~s~postbounce. We consider three different rotational speeds with initial angular velocities of ,~0.5, and~1~rad~s and investigate the impact of rotation on shock dynamics, black hole formation, and gravitational wave signals. The rapidly-rotating model undergoes an early explosion at ~ms postbounce and shows signs of the low instability. We do not find black hole formation in this model within ~ms postbounce. In contrast, we find black hole formation at 776~ms~postbounce and 936~ms~postbounce for the non-rotating and slowly-rotating models, respectively. The slowly-rotating model explodes at ~ms postbounce, and the subsequent fallback accretion onto the proto-neutron star (PNS) results in BH formation. In addition, the standing~accretion~shock~instability induces rotation of the proto-neutron star in the model that started with a non-rotating progenitor. Assuming conservation of specific angular momentum during black hole formation, this corresponds to a black~hole spin parameter of . However, if no explosion sets in, all the angular momentum will eventually be accreted by the BH, resulting in a non-spinning BH. The successful explosion of the slowly-rotating model drastically slows down the accretion onto the PNS, allowing continued cooling and contraction that results in an extremely high gravitational-wave frequency (~Hz) at black~hole formation, while the non-rotating model generates gravitational wave signals similar to our corresponding 2D simulations.
