Effects of Rotation on Standing Accretion Shock Instability in Nonlinear Phase for Core-Collapse Supernovae

Three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations using a realistic equation of state and neutrino heating and cooling. Rotation is added to infalling gas once the nonlinear phase begins. Find that amplitudes of spiral modes increase significantly with rotation in the progressive direction.

Linear Growth of Spiral SASI Modes in Core-Collapse Supernovae

Two-dimensional simulations in the equatorial plane are used to study non-axisymmetric modes of the SASI. These modes are excited by dropping a density perturbation onto the accretion shock. The perturbation is in the shape of a bar oriented at an angle with respect to the spherical shock. The result sends a wave rotating around the accreting star. The amplitude of the perturbation is tracked by computing the Fourier components of the angular velocity.

The Spherical Accretion Shock Instability in the Linear Regime

A careful study of the evolution of the SASI in the linear regime, quantifying growth rates as a function of the standoff distance of the accretion shock.

Stability of Standing Accretion Shocks, With an Eye Toward Core Collapse Supernovae

Original discovery of the SASI. Attributed instability to Vortical Acoustic coupling described by Foglizzo, but is not (?) the case.
