Journal ArticleDOI
Supernova fallback onto magnetars and propeller-powered supernovae
Anthony L. Piro,Christian D. Ott +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, fallback accretion onto newly born magnetars during the supernova of massive stars was explored and it was shown that strong magnetic fields and short spin periods have an important influence on how the magnetar interacts with the infalling material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generic gravitational-wave signals from the collapse of rotating stellar cores.
TL;DR: In this article, a general relativistic (GR) simulation of stellar core collapse to a protoneutron star was performed using a microphysical equation of state (EOS) and an approximation of deleptonization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetically driven explosions of rapidly rotating white dwarfs following accretion-induced collapse
TL;DR: In this paper, a multigroup flux-limited diffusion magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulation of the accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of a rapidly rotating white dwarf is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rotating collapse of stellar iron cores in general relativity
Christian D. Ott,Harald Dimmelmeier,Andreas Marek,Hans-Thomas Janka,Burkhard Zink,Ian Hawke,Erik Schnetter +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first 2 + 1 and 3 + 1 simulations of the collapse of rotating stellar iron cores in general relativity employing a finite-temperature equation of state and an approximate treatment of deleptonization during collapse were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Black hole-neutron star mergers with a hot nuclear equation of state: outflow and neutrino-cooled disk for a low-mass, high-spin case
M. Brett Deaton,Matthew D. Duez,Francois Foucart,Evan O'Connor,Christian D. Ott,Lawrence E. Kidder,Curran D. Muhlberger,Mark A. Scheel,Béla Szilágyi +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a neutrino leakage scheme was proposed for cooling the accretion tori formed in black hole-neutron star mergers, where neutrinos were used to make the disk much denser and more compact, causing the average electron fraction of the disk to rise to about 0.2 and then gradually decrease again.
