Features of the Acoustic Mechanism of Core-Collapse Supernova Explosions : Revisited using the Kinetic Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
The discrete kinetic model is used to study the propagation of sound waves in system of hard-disk-like rotating stars (or vortex gases). The anomalous (negative) attenuation or amplification which is possibly due to the binary collision of a dilute-enough rotating disk (or vortex-gas) system (each with opposite-sign rotating direction or angular momenta but the total (net) angular momenta or vorticity is zero) or microreversibility might arise from the implicit balance of the angular momentum during encounter and give clues to the understanding of possible acceleration of cosmic rays passing through this kind of channel and direct or inverse vortex-gas cascades in two-dimensional turbulence of astrophysical problems.

Probing the Core-Collapse Supernova Mechanism with Gravitational Waves
The mechanism of core-collapse supernova explosions must draw on the energy provided by gravitational collapse and transfer the necessary fraction to the kinetic and internal energy of the ejecta. Despite many decades of concerted theoretical effort, the detailed mechanism of core-collapse supernova explosions is still unknown, but indications are strong that multi-D processes lie at its heart....
متن کاملPerspectives of Core-collapse Supernovae beyond Sn 1987a
The observation of neutrinos from Supernova 1987A has confirmed the theoretical conjecture that these particles play a crucial role during the collapse of the core of a massive star. Only one per cent of the energy they carry away from the newly formed neutron star may account for all the kinetic and electromagnetic energy responsible for the spectacular display of the supernova explosion. Howe...
متن کاملNonlinear Saturation of g-modes in Proto-Neutron Stars: Quieting the Acoustic Engine
According to Burrows et al.’s acoustic mechanism for core-collapse supernova explosions, the primary, l = 1, g-mode in the core of the proton-neutron star is excited to an energy of ∼ 10 ergs and damps by the emission of sound waves. Here we calculate the damping of the primary mode by the parametric instability, i.e., by nonlinear, 3-mode coupling between the low-order primary mode and pairs o...
متن کاملA New Mechanism for Core-collapse Supernova Explosions
In this paper, we present a new mechanism for core-collapse supernova explosions that relies upon acoustic power generated in the inner core as the driver. In our simulation using an 11-M⊙ progenitor, an advective-acoustic oscillation à la Foglizzo with a period of ∼25−30 milliseconds (ms) arises ∼200 ms after bounce. Its growth saturates due to the generation of secondary shocks, and kinks in ...
متن کاملMulti-dimensional Explorations in Supernova Theory
In this paper, we bring together various of our published and unpublished findings from our recent 2D multi-group, flux-limited radiation hydrodynamic simulations of the collapse and explosion of the cores of massive stars. Aided by 2D and 3D graphical renditions, we motivate the acoustic mechanism of core-collapse supernova explosions and explain, as best we currently can, the phases and pheno...
