Astrophysics with core-collapse supernova gravitational wave signals in the next generation of gravitational wave detectors

ORAL

Abstract

The next generation of gravitational wave detectors will improve the detection prospects for gravitational waves from core-collapse supernovae. The complex astrophysics involved in core-collapse supernovae pose a significant challenge to modeling such phenomena. The Supernova Model Evidence Extractor (SMEE) attempts to capture the main features of gravitational wave signals from core-collapse supernovae by using numerical relativity waveforms to create approximate models. These models can then be used to perform Bayesian model selection to determine if the targeted astrophysical feature is present in the gravitational wave signal. In this talk, I introduce SMEE and its recent extension to include g-modes and the standing accretion shock instability (SASI). I will discuss SMEE's performance for planned future detectors, such as the Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer, and LIGO Voyager.
