Weak Shock Propagation with Accretion. III. A Numerical Study On Shock Propagation & Stability
Stephen Ro, Eric R. Coughlin, Eliot Quataert
Core-collapse supernovae span a wide range of energies, from much less than to much greater than the binding energy of the progenitor star. As a result, the shock wave generated fr…
Weak Shock Propagation with Accretion. II. Stability of Self-similar Solutions to Radial Perturbations
Eric R. Coughlin, Stephen Ro, Eliot Quataert
Coughlin et al. (2018) (Paper I) derived and analyzed a new regime of self-similarity that describes weak shocks (Mach number of order unity) in the gravitational field of a point…
Weak shock propagation with accretion. I. Self-similar solutions and application to failed supernovae
Eric R. Coughlin, Eliot Quataert, Stephen Ro
We present solutions for the self-similar propagation of a shock wave in a hydrostatic, adiabatic medium with a point mass gravitational field. In contrast to the well-known, Sedov…
Shock Emergence in Supernovae: Limiting Cases and Accurate Approximations
Stephen Ro, Christopher D. Matzner
We examine the dynamics of accelerating normal shocks in stratified planar atmospheres, providing accurate fitting formulae for the scaling index relating shock velocity to the ini…
