Aspherical Core-Collapse Supernovae in Red Supergiants Powered by Nonrelativistic Jets
Sean M. Couch, J. Craig Wheeler, Milos Milosavljevic
We explore the observational characteristics of jet-driven supernovae by simulating bipolar-jet-driven explosions in a red supergiant progenitor. We present results of four models…
Accretion onto Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Dense Protogalactic Clouds
Milos Milosavljevic, Sean M. Couch, Volker Bromm
We present the first results from two-dimensional simulations of radiatively-efficient accretion of metal-free gas onto intermediate-mass black holes. We fix the shape of the spect…
Accretion onto Seed Black Holes in the First Galaxies
Milos Milosavljevic, Volker Bromm, Sean M. Couch +1
The validity of the hypothesis that the massive black holes in high redshift quasars grew from stellar-sized "seeds" is contingent on a seed's ability to double its mass every few…
Shock Vorticity Generation from Accelerated Ion Streaming in the Precursor of Ultrarelativistic Gamma-Ray Burst External Shocks
Sean M. Couch, Milos Milosavljevic, Ehud Nakar
We investigate the interaction of nonthermal ions (protons and nuclei) accelerated in an ultrarelativistic blastwave with the pre-existing magnetic field of the medium into which t…
The Shape of Cas A
J. Craig Wheeler, Justyn R. Maund, Sean M. Couch
Based on optical, IR and X-ray studies of Cas A, we propose a geometry for the remnant based on a "jet-induced" scenario with significant systematic departures from axial symmetry.…
