hydrodynamic instabilities play a crucial role in the explosion mechanism. The first …

The evolution and explosion of massive stars

SE Woosley, A Heger, TA Weaver - Reviews of modern physics, 2002 - APS
Like all true stars, massive stars are gravitationally confined thermonuclear reactors whose
composition evolves as energy is lost to radiation and neutrinos. Unlike lower-mass stars …

Gravitational-wave signature of core-collapse supernovae

D Vartanyan, A Burrows, T Wang, MSB Coleman… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We calculate the gravitational-wave (GW) signatures of detailed three-dimensional (3D) core-
collapse supernova simulations spanning a range of massive stars. Most of the simulations …
