Problems of collapse and numerical relativity, volume 134

OSTI ID:5572695
The main purpose of this book is to give the present state on each problem involved at the end of massive stars: i) supernova explosions; ii) generation of gravitational waves; iii) final state of the collapse. The microphysical processes and the equation of state of hot nuclear matter are considered as well as the constraints they imply on dynamics. In this way both type-I and type-II supernovae are studied. Part of the book is devoted to numerical relativity: the different formalisms of general relativity are presented in order to follow both dynamics of matter and evolution of space-time through the entire collapse and to estimate gravitational waves emitted during collapse of a stellar core to a neutron star or black hole. Moreover, connected to the problem of collapse and the thermonuclear explosion processes, observations and models of X-ray bursts are presented and discussed.
