Influence of pions and hyperons on stellar black hole formation
2013
We present numerical simulations of stellar core-collapse with spherically symmetric, general relativistic hydrodynamics up to black hole formation. Using the CoCoNuT code, with a newly developed grey leakage scheme for the neutrino treatment, we investigate the effects of including pions and \Lambda-hyperons into the equation of state at high densities and temperatures on the black hole formation process. Results show non-negligible differences between the models with reference equation of state without any additional particles and models with the extended ones. For the latter, the maximum masses supported by the proto-neutron star are smaller and the collapse to a black hole occurs earlie…
Neutron star formation with presence of hyperons
2001
We study the influence of hyperons during the early stages of the birth of a neutron star (Kelvin-Helmholtz phase), employing neutrino opacities calculated consistently with the equation of state by considering all possible neutrino-hyperon reactions. Our results from numerical simulations of newly born neutron stars, or proto-neutron stars, show an increasingly important influence of hyperons at later times. It is remarkable the existence of metastable stars, which are stable at birth but become unstable during the evolution as the deleptonization proceeds and the hyperon concentration increases. We also present results from hydrodynamical simulations of the collapse to a black hole of met…
