Interpreting Core-collapse Multimessenger Signals Using Supernova Simulations
As some of the most energetic events in the universe, core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) act as effective laboratories for many areas of physics that occur on a variety of length scales. With electromagnetic and multimessenger observatories constantly improving sensitivities, astronomers stand poised to constrain the physics within these high energy laboratories using a variety of signals. This talk reviews results from high-fidelity multiphysics simulations, connecting the expected gravitational waves produced in a core-collapse event to the internal supernova physics. Likewise, it highlights relationships between the neutrino production and the CCSN evolution. Lastly, this talk outlines additions to the FLASH multiphysics code that improve the predictive power of numerical models for supernova multimessenger signals.
