The Force Explosion Condition is Consistent with Spherically Symmetric CCSN Explosions

Mariam Gogilashvili, Jeremiah W. Murphy, Evan P. O'Connor

One of the major challenges in Core-collapse Supernova (CCSN) theory is to predict which stars explode and which collapse to black holes. Gogilashvili and Murphy (2022) derived an…

Inferring Type II-P Supernova Progenitor Masses from Plateau Luminosities

Brandon L. Barker, Evan P. O'Connor, Sean M. Couch

Connecting observations of core-collapse supernova explosions to the properties of their massive star progenitors is a long-sought, and challenging, goal of supernova science. Rece…

A Parameterized Neutrino Emission Model to Study Mass Ejection in Failed Core-collapse Supernovae

A. S. Schneider, E. O'Connor

Some massive stars end their lives as \textit{failed} core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and become black holes (BHs). Although in this class of phenomena the stalled supernova shock…

Impact of Rotation on the Multimessenger Signatures of a Hadron-quark Phase Transition in Core-collapse Supernovae

Shuai Zha, Evan O'Connor

We study the impact of rotation on the multimessenger signals of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) with the occurrence of a first-order hadron-quark phase transition (HQPT). We simu…

Neutrino Driven Explosions aided by Axion Cooling in Multidimensional Simulations of Core-Collapse Supernovae

Aurore Betranhandy, Evan O'Connor

In this study, we present the first multidimensional core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) simulations including QCD axions in order to assess the impact on the CCSN explosion mechanism…

Detectability of neutrino-signal fluctuations induced by the hadron-quark phase transition in failing core-collapse supernovae

Zidu Lin, Shuai Zha, Evan P. O'Connor +1

We introduce a systematic and quantitative methodology for establishing the presence of neutrino oscillatory signals due to the hadron-quark phase transition (PT) in failing core-c…
