Magnetorotational collapse of very massive stars to black holes in full general relativity
Magnetorotational collapse of very massive stars to black holes in full general relativity
We perform axisymmetric simulations of the magnetorotational collapse of very massive stars in full general relativity. Our simulations are applicable to the collapse of supermassive stars with masses $M\ensuremath{\gtrsim}{10}^{3}{M}_{\ensuremath{\bigodot}}$ and to very massive Population III stars. We model our initial configurations by $n=3$ polytropes, uniformly rotating near the mass-shedding limit …
