Variety of disk wind-driven explosions in massive rotating stars

Abstract

We perform a set of two-dimensional, non-relativistic, hydrodynamics simulations for supernova-like explosion associated with stellar core collapse of rotating massive stars to a system of a black hole and a disk connected by the transfer of matter and angular momentum. Our model of the central engine also includes the contribution of the disk wind. In this work, we specifically investigate the wind-driven explosion of rotating, large-mass progenitor stars with the zero-age main-sequence mass of $M_{\mathrm{ZAMS}}=20M_{\odot }$ from arXiv:2008.09132 . This study is carried out using the open-source hydrodynamic code Athena++, for which we implement a method to calculate self-gravity for axially symmetric density distributions. We, then, investigate the explosion properties and the ${}^{56}$Ni production as a function of (varying) some features of the wind injection. We find a large variety of explosion energy with $E_{\mathrm{expl}}$ ranging from $\sim 0.049\times 10^{51}$~erg to $\sim 34\times 10^{51}$~erg and ejecta mass $M_{\mathrm{ej}}$ from 0.58 to 6 $M_{\odot }$, which shows a bimodal distribution in high- and low-energy branches. We demonstrate that the resulting outcome of a highly- or sub-energetic explosion for a certain stellar structure is mainly determined by the competition between the ram pressure of the injected matter and that of the infalling envelope. In the nucleosynthesis analysis the ${}^{56}$Ni mass produced in our models goes from $<0.2M_{\odot }$ in the sub-energetic explosions to $2.1M_{\odot }$ in the highly-energetic ones. These results are consistent with the observational data of stripped-envelope and high-energy SNe such as broad-lined type Ic SNe. However, we find a tighter correlation between the explosion energy and the ejecta mass than that observationally measured.
