Black holes as the end state of stellar evolution: Theory and simulations
Alexander Heger, Bernhard Müller, Ilya Mandel
The collapse of massive stars is one of the most-studied paths to black hole formation. In this chapter, we review black hole formation during the collapse of massive stars in the…
Gravitational Wave Signals from Two-Dimensional Core-Collapse Supernova Models with Rotation and Magnetic Fields
Rylan Jardine, Jade Powell, Bernhard Müller
We investigate the impact of rotation and magnetic fields on the dynamics and gravitational wave emission in 2D core-collapse supernova simulations with neutrino transport. We simu…
A 3D Simulation of a Neutrino-Driven Supernova Explosion Aided By Convection and Magnetic Fields
Bernhard Müller, Vishnu Varma
We study the impact of a small-scale dynamo in core-collapse supernovae using a 3D neutrino magnetohydrodynamics simulation of a progenitor. The weak seed field is amp…
Searching for Electromagnetic Counterparts to Gravitational-wave Merger Events with the Prototype Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO-4)
B. P. Gompertz, R. Cutter, D. Steeghs +49
We report the results of optical follow-up observations of 29 gravitational-wave triggers during the first half of the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration (LVC) O3 run with the Gravitational-…
Catching Element Formation In The Act
Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216
Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…
Gravitational Waves from Core-Collapse Supernovae
Bernhard Müller
Gravitational waves are a potential direct probe for the multi-dimensional flow during the first second of core-collapse supernova explosions. Here we outline the structure of the…
