Core-collapse Supernovae Induced by Anisotropic Neutrino Radiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate the important role of anisotropic neutrino radiation on the mechanism of core-collapse supernova explosions. Through a new parameter study with a fixed radiation field of neutrinos, we show that prolate explosions caused by globally anisotropic neutrino radiation is the most effective mechanism of increasing the explosion energy when the total neutrino luminosity is given. This is suggestive of the fact that the expanding materials of SN 1987A has a prolate geometry.

Sensitivity of Core-Collapse Supernovae to Neutrino Luminosity in Cases of Anisotropic Neutrino Radiation
We demonstrate the importance of anisotropic neutrino radiation in the mechanism of corecollapse supernova explosions. Through a new parameter study with a fixed radiation field of neutrinos, we show that global anisotropy of the neutrino radiation is the most effective mechanism of increasing the explosion energy when the total neutrino luminosity is given. We discuss the reason why, and demon...
متن کاملA new mechanism for gravitational-wave emission in core-collapse supernovae.
We present a new theory for the gravitational-wave signatures of core-collapse supernovae. Previous studies identified axisymmetric rotating core collapse, core bounce, postbounce convection, and anisotropic neutrino emission as the primary processes and phases for the radiation of gravitational waves. Our results, which are based on axisymmetric Newtonian supernova simulations, indicate that t...
متن کاملImportance of Prolate Neutrino Radiation in Core-Collapse Supernovae: The Reason for the Prolate Geometry of SN1987A?
We have carried out 2-D simulations of core-collapse supernova explosions. The local neutrino radiation field is assumed to have its maximum value either at the symmetry (polar) axis or on the equatorial plane. These lead to the prolate and oblate explosions, respectively. We find that the gain of the explosion energy in the prolate explosion evolves more predominately than that in the oblate o...

متن کاملCore-collapse supernovae and gravitational waves
Core-collapse supernovae are dramatic events with a rich phenomenology, including gravitational radiation. Simulations of these events in multiple spatial dimensions with energyand angle-dependent neutrino transport are still in their infancy. Core collapse and bounce in a supernova in our galaxy may well be visible by firstgeneration LIGO, but detailed understanding waits on improvements in mo...
