Gravitational waves from core collapse of rotating very-massive stars: 3D numerical relativity computation

Alan Tsz-Lok Lam, Masaru Shibata, Sho Fujibayashi

We numerically study the collapse of rotating, very-massive stellar cores with masses of $\approx 200$, $300$, $500$, and $1100M_{\odot }$ into black holes using both axisymmetric and…
