Gravitational Waves from Core-Collapse Supernovae

Understand

Gravitational waves are a potential direct probe for the multi-dimensional flow during the first second of core-collapse supernova explosions.

• Here we outline the structure of the predicted gravitational wave signal from neutrino-driven supernovae of non-rotating progenitors from recent 2D and 3D simulations.
• We sketch some quantitative dependencies that govern the amplitudes of this signal and its evolution in the time-frequency domain.
