Gravitational waves from 3D MHD core collapse simulations

Understand

We present the gravitational wave analysis from rotating (model s15g) and nearly non-rotating (model s15h) 3D MHD core collapse supernova simulations at bounce and the first couple of ten milliseconds afterwards.

• The simulations are launched from 15M_{\odot} progenitor models stemming from stellar evolution calculations.
• Gravity is implemented by a spherically symmetric effective general relativistic potential.
• The input physics uses the Lattimer-Swesty equation of state for hot, dense matter and a neutrino parametrisation scheme that is accurate until the first few ms after bounce.
