Abstract

We study the consequences of a hadron-quark phase transition (PT) in failing core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) which give birth to stellar-mass black holes (BH). We perform a suite of neutrino-transport general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulations in spherical symmetry with 21 progenitor models and a hybrid equation of state (EoS) including hadrons and quarks. We find that the effect of the PT on the CCSN postbounce dynamics is a function of the bounce compactness parameter ξ2.2\xi_{2.2}. For ξ2.20.24\xi_{2.2}\gtrsim0.24, the PT leads to a second dynamical collapse of the protocompact star (PCS). While BH formation starts immediately after this second collapse for models with ξ2.20.51\xi_{2.2}\gtrsim0.51, the PCS experiences a second bounce and oscillations for models with 0.24ξ2.20.510.24\lesssim\xi_{2.2}\lesssim0.51. These models emit potent oscillatory neutrino signals with a period of \simms for tens of ms after the second bounce, which can be a strong indicator of the PT in failing CCSNe if detected in the future. However, no shock revival occurs and BH formation inevitably takes place in our spherically-symmetric simulations. Furthermore, via a diagram of mass-specific entropy evolution of the PCS, the progenitor dependence can be understood through the appearance of third-family of compact stars emerging at large entropy induced by the PT.
