Abstract:
While detecting gravitational waves from a nearby core-collapse supernova (CCSN) will be the next milestone of gravitational wave and multi-messenger astrophysics, the physical mechanism that drives the supernova explosion remains elusive. In this talk, I present the results of a set of 3D flagship CCSN simulations using high-resolution hydrodynamics, self-consistent neutron transport, and approximate general relativistic gravity. In particular, I will focus on the effects of the nuclear equation of state, rotation, and magnetic fields on the explosion engines and unique gravitational wave features that might be detected with the current gravitational wave detectors, e.g., Advanced LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA.
