Numerical Study of Stellar Core Collapse and Neutrino Emission Using the Nuclear Equation of State Obtained by the Variational Method

Core-collapse simulations of massive stars are performed using the equation of state (EOS) based on the microscopic variational calculation with realistic nuclear forces. The progenitor models with the initial masses of $15M_\odot$, $9.6M_\odot$, and $30M_\odot$ are adopted as examples of the ordinary core-collapse supernova with a shock stall, the low-mass supernova with a successful explosion, and the black hole formation, respectively. Moreover, the neutrinos emitted from the stellar collapse are assessed. Then, the variational EOS is confirmed to work well in all cases. The EOS dependences of the dynamics, thermal structure, and neutrino emission of the stellar collapse are also investigated.
