Channels of Stellar-mass Black Hole Formation
Adam Burrows, Tianshu Wang, David Vartanyan
On the basis of a large collection of detailed 3D core-collapse supernova simulations carried to late times, we identify four channels of stellar mass black hole formation. Our exa…
Black-Hole Formation Accompanied by the Supernova Explosion of a 40-M Progenitor Star
Adam Burrows, David Vartanyan, Tianshu Wang
We have simulated the collapse and evolution of the core of a solar-metallicity 40-M star and find that it explodes vigorously by the neutrino mechanism. This despite its…
Applications of Machine Learning to Predicting Core-collapse Supernova Explosion Outcomes
Benny T. -H. Tsang, David Vartanyan, Adam Burrows
Most existing criteria derived from progenitor properties of core-collapse supernovae are not very accurate in predicting explosion outcomes. We present a novel look at identifying…
The Essential Character of the Neutrino Mechanism of Core-Collapse Supernova Explosions
Tianshu Wang, David Vartanyan, Adam Burrows +1
Calibrating with detailed 2D core-collapse supernova simulations, we derive a simple core-collapse supernova explosion condition based solely upon the terminal density profiles of…
The Collapse and Three-Dimensional Explosion of Three-Dimensional, vis à vis One-Dimensional, Massive-star Supernova Progenitor Models
David Vartanyan, Matthew S. B. Coleman, Adam Burrows
The explosion outcome and diagnostics of core-collapse supernovae depend sensitively on the nature of the stellar progenitor, but most studies to date have focused exclusively on o…
Binary-Stripped Stars as Core-Collapse Supernovae Progenitors
David Vartanyan, Eva Laplace, Mathieu Renzo +3
Most massive stars experience binary interactions in their lifetimes that can alter both the surface and core structure of the stripped star with significant effects on their ultim…
Different to the core: the pre-supernova structures of massive single and binary-stripped stars
E. Laplace, S. Justham, M. Renzo +4
The majority of massive stars live in binary or multiple systems and will interact during their lifetimes, which helps to explain the observed diversity of core-collapse supernovae…
Core-Collapse Supernova Explosion Theory
Adam Burrows, David Vartanyan
Most supernova explosions accompany the death of a massive star. These explosions give birth to neutron stars and black holes and eject solar masses of heavy elements. However, det…
Three-Dimensional Supernova Explosion Simulations of 9-, 10-, 11-, 12-, and 13-M Stars
Adam Burrows, David Radice, David Vartanyan
Using the new state-of-the-art core-collapse supernova (CCSN) code F{\sc{ornax}}, we have simulated the three-dimensional dynamical evolution of the cores of 9-, 10-, 11-, 12-, and…
Crucial Physical Dependencies of the Core-Collapse Supernova Mechanism
Adam Burrows, David Vartanyan, Joshua C. Dolence +2
We explore with self-consistent 2D F{\sc{ornax}} simulations the dependence of the outcome of collapse on many-body corrections to neutrino-nucleon cross sections, the nucleon-nucl…
