Determining the Structure of Rotating Massive Stellar Cores with Gravitational Waves
Michael A. Pajkos, MacKenzie L. Warren, Sean M. Couch +2
The gravitational wave (GW) signal resulting from stellar core collapse encodes a wealth of information about the physical parameters of the progenitor star and the resulting core-…
Stellar Mass Black Hole Formation and Multi-messenger Signals from Three Dimensional Rotating Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations
Kuo-Chuan Pan, Matthias Liebendörfer, Sean Couch +1
We present self-consistent, 3D core-collapse supernova simulations of a 40 Msun progenitor model using the isotropic diffusion source approximation for neutrino transport and an ef…
The Antesonic Condition for the Explosion of Core-Collapse Supernovae II: Rotation and Turbulence
Matthias J. Raives, Todd A. Thompson, Sean M. Couch
In the problem of steady free-fall onto a standing shockwave around acentral mass, the "antesonic" condition limits the regime of stable accretion to $c_T^2/v_\mathrm{esc}^2\leq3/1…
On The Development of Multidimensional Progenitor Models For Core-collapse Supernovae
C. E. Fields, S. M. Couch
Multidimensional hydrodynamic simulations of shell convection in massive stars suggest the development of aspherical perturbations that may be amplified during iron core-collapse.…
Gravitational-wave Signature of a First-order Quantum Chromodynamics Phase Transition in Core-Collapse Supernovae
Shuai Zha, Evan P. O'Connor, Ming-chung Chu +2
A first-order quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase transition (PT) may take place in the protocompact star (PCS) produced by a core-collapse supernova (CCSN). In this work, we study…
Reaction Rate Sensitivity of the Production of -ray Emitting Isotopes in Core-Collapse Supernova
Kirby Hermansen, Sean M. Couch, Luke F. Roberts +2
Radioactive isotopes produced in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) provide useful insights into the underlying processes driving the collapse mechanism and the origins of elemental…
