Three-dimensional simulations of stellar core collapse in full general relativity: Nonaxisymmetric dynamical instabilities

Abstract

We perform fully general relativistic simulations of rotating stellar core collapse in three spatial dimension. A parametric equation of state is adopted following Dimmelmeier et al. The early stage of the collapse is followed by an axisymmetric code. When the stellar core becomes compact enough, we start a 3-dimensional simulation adding a bar-mode nonaxisymmetric density perturbation. In the axisymmetric simulations, it is clarified that the maximum value of $\beta \equiv T/W$ achieved during the stellar collapse and depends sensitively on the velocity profile and total mass of the initial core, and equations of state. It is also found that for all the models with high degree of differential rotation, a funnel structure is formed around the rotational axis after the formation of neutron stars. For selected models in which the maximum value of $\beta$ is larger than $\sim 0.27$, 3-dimensional simulations are performed. It is found that the bar-mode dynamical instability sets in for the case that the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the progenitor should be rapidly rotating with the initial value of $0.01 \alt β\alt 0.02$, (ii) the degree of differential rotation of the initial condition should be sufficiently high, and (iii) a depletion factor of pressure in an early stage of collapse should be large enough to induce a significant contraction for which an efficient spin-up can be achieved. As a result of the onset of the bar-mode dynamical instabilities, the amplitude of gravitational waves can be by a factor of $\sim 10$ larger than that in the axisymmetric collapse. It is found that a dynamical instability with the $m=1$ mode is also induced, but the perturbation does not grow significantly and, hence, it does not contribute to an outstanding amplification of gravitational waves.
