On the Maximum Luminosity of Galaxies and Their Central Black Holes: Feedback From Momentum-Driven Winds
Norman Murray, Eliot Quataert, Todd A. Thompson
We investigate large-scale galactic winds driven by momentum deposition. Momentum injection is provided by (1) radiation pressure produced by the continuum absorption and scatterin…
Neutrino Opacities in Nuclear Matter
Adam Burrows, Sanjay Reddy, Todd A. Thompson
Neutrino-matter cross sections and interaction rates are central to the core-collapse supernova phenomenon and, very likely, to the viability of the explosion mechanism itself. In…
Viscosity and Rotation in Core-Collapse Supernovae
Todd A. Thompson, Eliot Quataert, Adam Burrows
We construct models of core-collapse supernovae in one spatial dimension, including rotation, angular momentum transport, and viscous dissipation employing an alpha-prescription. W…
Magnetar Spindown, Hyper-Energetic Supernovae, and Gamma Ray Bursts
Todd A. Thompson, Philip Chang, Eliot Quataert
The Kelvin-Helmholtz cooling epoch, lasting tens of seconds after the birth of a neutron star in a successful core-collapse supernova, is accompanied by a neutrino-driven wind. For…
