AbstractWe describe the results of our numerical simulations of the collapse of a massive stellar core to a BH, performed in the framework of full general relativity incorporating finite-temperature equation of state and neutrino cooling. We adopt a 100 M⊙ presupernova model calculated by Umeda & Nomoto (2008), which has a massive core with a high value of entropy per baryon. Changing the degree of rotation for the initial condition, we clarify the dependence of the outcome on this. When the rotation is rapid enough, the shock wave formed at the core bounce is deformed to be a torus-like shape. Then, the infalling matter is accumulated in the central region due to the oblique shock at the torus surface, hitting the hypermassive neutron star (HMNS) and dissipating the kinetic energy there. As a result, outflows can be launched. The HMNS eventually collapses to a BH and an accretion torus is formed around it. We also found that the evolution of the BH and torus depends strongly on the rotation initially given.

Compact stars, e.g., black holes and neutron stars, are the most energetic objects in astrophysics. These objects are accompanied by extremely strong gravity and a high velocity, which approaches the speed of light. Therefore, compact objects should be dealt with in Einstein’s relativity. This article will briefly introduce a numerical method that will allow us to obtain general solutions in general relativity. Several applications using numerical relativistic simulations will also be presented.

The presence of accreting black holes (BH) among the X-ray binaries has been recognized for many years. Traditionally, Cyg X-1 and the handful of other candidates have been thought of as cousins of the HMXB neutron star systems. Recent studies of the soft X-ray transients such as A 0620-00 have, however, shown that the dynamical evidence makes these low-mass systems very strong black-hole candidates. Further, analysis of the eventual end-states of various high-mass X-ray binaries suggest that some could end as observable BH-pulsar binaries, although the first such system is yet to be discovered.

AbstractThe reduction of the ratio between specific angular momentum and mass (a/m) due to gravitational radiation has been investigated for a model of collapsing rotating stellar core in a post-newtonian scheme. Results show that if the initial value of the ratio is significantly greater than one, it tends towards one and if the initial ratio is nearly one, no sharp reduction happens as the core collapses to the neutron star or black hole size.
