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 paper, the authors present results from 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.

Topics in Core-Collapse Supernova Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize various recent ideas and calculations that bear on these themes, including the origin of pulsar kicks, gravitational radiation signatures of core bounce, and the possible roles of neutrinos and rotation in the mechanism of explosion.

Topics in core - collapse Supernova Theory
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize various recent ideas and calculations that bear on these themes, including the origin of pulsar kicks, gravitational radiation signatures of core bounce, and the possible roles of neutrinos and rotation in the mechanism of explosion.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Studies of Stellar Collapse and Black Hole Formation with the Open-Source Code GR1D
Christian D. Ott,Evan O'Connor +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss results from simulations of black hole formation in failing core-collapse supernovae performed with the code GR1D, a new open-source Eulerian spherically-symmetric general-relativistic hydrodynamics code.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thoughts on Core-Collapse Supernova Theory†
TL;DR: In this article, the breaking of spherical symmetry may be the key to the elusive mechanism of supernova explosion, and the neutrino heating mechanism, the MHD jet mechanism, and an acoustic mechanism are discussed.
