Exploding massive stars and their implications for gravitational waves

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to perform simulations of core-collapse supernovae, the explosive death of massive stars, to better understand their explosion properties, remnant properties, and gravitational wave emission. This project expects to produce gravitational wave emission predictions in previously unexplored areas of the supernova progenitor parameter space. The expected outcomes of this project include novel gravitational wave data analysis tools, and a better understanding of the birth properties of neutron stars and black holes. This should provide significant benefits, such as improving our understanding of the astrophysics behind core-collapse supernovae, and improving our understanding of neutron star and black hole populations.
