Core-Collapse Supernovae, Neutrinos, and Gravitational Waves
C. D. Ott, E. P. O'Connor, S. Gossan +3
Core-collapse supernovae are among the most energetic cosmic cataclysms. They are prodigious emitters of neutrinos and quite likely strong galactic sources of gravitational waves.…
General-Relativistic Simulations of Three-Dimensional Core-Collapse Supernovae
C. D. Ott, E. Abdikamalov, P. Moesta +6
We study the three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamics of the post-core-bounce phase of the collapse of a 27-solar-mass star and pay special attention to the development of the standing…
Charged current neutrino interactions in core-collapse supernovae in a virial expansion
C. J. Horowitz, G. Shen, Evan O'Connor +1
Core-collapse supernovae may depend sensitively on charged current neutrino interactions in warm, low density neutron rich matter. A proton in neutron rich matter is more tightly b…
The Progenitor Dependence of the Preexplosion Neutrino Emission in Core-Collapse Supernovae
Evan O'Connor, Christian D. Ott
We perform spherically-symmetric general-relativistic simulations of core collapse and the postbounce preexplosion phase in 32 presupernova stellar models of solar metallicity with…
Correlated Gravitational Wave and Neutrino Signals from General-Relativistic Rapidly Rotating Iron Core Collapse
C. D. Ott, E. Abdikamalov, E. O'Connor +6
We present results from a new set of 3D general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of rotating iron core collapse. We assume octant symmetry and focus on axisymmetric collapse,…
The Arduous Journey to Black-Hole Formation in Potential Gamma-Ray Burst Progenitors
Luc Dessart, Evan O'Connor, Christian D. Ott
We present a quantitative study on the properties at death of fast-rotating massive stars evolved at low-metallicity, objects that are proposed as likely progenitors of long-durati…
