| Abstract: |
We present results from the first generation of multi-dimensional
general relativistic neutrino hydrodynamics simulations of
core-collapse supernovae. A comparison with models computed using
either the purely Newtonian approximation or the “effective
gravitational potential” approach reveals appreciable quantitative
differences in the heating conditions and the gravitational wave
spectra. Our results underscore the important role of general
relativity in the supernova problem (which appears to be on par with
other important factors such as the dimensionality and the equation of
state) both for our understanding of the explosion dynamics as well as
for predictions of observable signatures. |
