Low-Frequency Gravitational Waves in Three-Dimensional Core-Collapse Supernova Models

Abstract

We discuss the low-frequency gravitational wave signals from three state-of-the-art three-dimensional core-collapse supernova models produced with the \textsc{Chimera} supernova code. We provide a detailed derivation of the gravitational wave signal sourced from the anisotropic emission of neutrinos and provide the total (fluid sourced and neutrino sourced) gravitational waves signal generated in our models. We discuss the templatablity of this low-frequency signal, which is useful for future work involving matched filtering for signal detection and parameter estimation. Errata: The neutrino-induced gravitational waveforms presented were computed incorrectly. They were underestimated by a factor of $4\ddot{I}€$. While the results are impacted, the original conclusions are not. In fact, they are only reinforced. The corrected versions of Figs. 5--7, 11--16, and 19 are given here. The captions of Figs. 5--7, 11, 12, 16, and 19 are not modified. The captions of Figs. 13, 14, and 15 are corrected to the fit parameters for the corrected waveforms. The corrected versions of Tables I--III are given here. There is no correction to the caption. Finally the authors would like to acknowledge Lella et al. [90] for pointing out the discrepancy between our computed neutrino-induced waveforms and theirs, which prompted us to investigate the discrepancy and which led to the discovery of our error.
