We present the gravitational wave predictions from two-dimensional core collapse supernova (CCSN) simulations initiated from two nearly identical progenitors that have significantly different internal structures due to their late-stage…
We present the first calculation of gravitational wave emission produced in the gravitational collapse of uniformly rotating neutron stars to black holes in fully three-dimensional simulations. The initial stellar models are relativistic…
Core-collapse supernovae are connected with formation of neutron stars. Part of the gravitation energy is transformed into the energy of the explosion, observed in SN II, SN Ib,c type supernovae. The mechanism of transformation is not…
Core-collapse supernovae produce fast shocks which expand into the dense circumstellar medium (CSM) of the stellar progenitor. Cosmic rays (CRs) accelerated at these shocks can induce the growth of electromagnetic fluctuations in the…
During the core bounce of a supernova collapse resonant active-to-active ($\nu_a \to \nu_a$), as well as active-to-sterile ($\nu_a \to \nu_s$) neutrino ($\nu$) oscillations can take place. Besides, over this phase weak magnetism increases…
Based on a linear and non-linear study of radial pulsations in the envelopes of classical novae (Schenker 1999), I discuss the results both from the point of view of pulsation theory as well as their consequences for current nova models.…
We study the properties of the gravitational wave (GW) emission between $10^{-5}$ Hz and $50$ Hz (which we refer to as low-frequency emission) from core-collapse supernovae, in the context of studying such signals in laser interferometric…
Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) emit powerful gravitational waves (GWs). Since GWs emitted by a source contain information about the source, observing GWs from CCSNe may allow us to learn more about CCSNs. We study if it is possible to…
The new generation of gravitational wave (GW) detectors have the potential to open a novel window onto the violent dynamics of core collapse. Although it is certain that core collapse events generate gravitational radiation, understanding…
We present the first three dimensional (3D) simulation of the final minutes of iron core growth in a massive star, up to and including the point of core gravitational instability and collapse. We self-consistently capture the development of…
Compact astrophysical objects that rotate rapidly may encounter the dynamical ``bar instability.'' The bar-like deformation induced by this rotational instability causes the object to become a potentially strong source of gravitational…
Recent theoretical work indicates that the neutrino radiation in core-collapse supernovae may be susceptible to flavor instabilities that set in far behind the shock, grow extremely rapidly, and have the potential to profoundly affect…
It is suggested in observations of supernova remnants that a number of large- and small-scale structures form at various points in the explosion. Multidimensional modeling of core-collapse supernovae has been undertaken since SN1987A, and…
We study the gravitational wave signals emitted from phase-transition induced collapses of rapidly rotating neutron stars to strange stars by performing 3D numerical simulations. Our preliminary results suggest that the complete conversion…
Spherically symmetric simulations of stellar core collapse and post-bounce evolution are used to test the sensitivity of the supernova dynamics to different variations of the input physics. We consider a state-of-the-art description of the…
Core-collapse supernovae exploding in dense winds are favorable sites for cosmic-ray (CR) acceleration to very high energies. We present our CR-radiation-hydrodynamics simulations of the explosion of a red supergiant. We study the evolution…
Massive stars have a strong impact on their surroundings, in particular when they produce a core-collapse supernova at the end of their evolution. In these proceedings, we review the general evolution of massive stars and their properties…
Spectropolarimetry of core collapse supernovae has shown that they are asymmetric and often, but not universally, bi-polar. The Type IIb SN1993J and similar events showed large scatter in the Stokes parameter plane. Observational programs…
We have carried out an extensive set of two-dimensional, axisymmetric, purely-hydrodynamic calculations of rotational stellar core collapse with a realistic, finite-temperature nuclear equation of state and realistic massive star progenitor…
Gravitational waves provide a unique and powerful opportunity to constrain the dynamics in the interior of proto-neutron stars during core collapse supernovae. Convective motions play an important role in generating neutron stars magnetic…
