One-armed Spiral Instability in a Low T/|W| Postbounce Supernova Core

Abstract

A three-dimensional, Newtonian hydrodynamic technique is used to follow the postbounce phase of a stellar core collapse event. For realistic initial data we have employed post core-bounce snapshots of the iron core of a 20 solar mass star. The models exhibit strong differential rotation but have centrally condensed density stratifications. We demonstrate for the first time that such postbounce cores are subject to a so-called low-T/|W| nonaxisymmetric instability and, in particular, can become dynamically unstable to an m=1 - dominated spiral mode at T/|W| ~ 0.08. We calculate the gravitational wave emission by the instability and find that the emitted waves may be detectable by current and future GW observatories from anywhere in the Milky Way.
