Core‐Collapse Simulations of Rotating Stars

Core‐Collapse Simulations of Rotating Stars

We present the results from a series of two-dimensional core-collapse simulations using a rotating progenitor star. We find that the convection in these simulations is less vigorous because (1) rotation weakens the core bounce that seeds the neutrino-driven convection and (2) the angular momentum profile in the rotating core stabilizes …
