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-…
Impact of neutrino pair-production rates in Core-Collapse Supernovae
Aurore Betranhandy, Evan O'Connor
In this paper, we present a careful study on the impact of neutrino pair-production on core-collapse supernovae via spherically-symmetric, general-relativistic simulations of two d…
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…
Equation of State and Progenitor Dependence of Stellar-Mass Black-Hole Formation
A. S. Schneider, E. O'Connor, E. Granqvist +2
The core collapse of a massive star results in the formation of a proto-neutron star (PNS). If enough material is accreted onto a PNS it will become gravitationally unstable and fu…
