Extracting Physics from Gravitational Waves from Core-Collapse Supernovae

ORAL

Abstract

Core-Collapse Supernovae (CCSN) are spectacular and violent deaths of massive stars. The mechanism and properties of these explosions are not yet fully understood and observing gravitational waves (GW) from CCSN will provide some insight. In this talk, I will give an overview of GW searches targeting CCSN. I will present search results in the first two observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors. I will outline efforts towards GW parameter estimation and waveform reconstruction as well as prospects for detecting GW from CCSN with future GW detectors.
