A Comparative study of hyperon equations of state in supernova simulations

TL;DR

This study compares different hyperon equations of state in supernova simulations, analyzing their impact on protoneutron star evolution, black hole formation, and neutrino emission, revealing that the BHBΛφ EoS results in delayed black hole formation due to increased stiffness.

Contribution

It provides a detailed comparison of hyperon EoS effects in supernova models, highlighting differences in black hole formation timing and neutrino emission.

Findings

BHBΛφ EoS leads to longer black hole formation times.

Neutrino emission ceases earlier with hyperon EoS compared to nuclear EoS.

Protoneutron star remains stable for 4 seconds post-explosion.

Abstract

A comparative study of the $\Lambda$ hyperon equations of state of Banik, Hempel and Banyopadhyay (BHB) \citep{bhb} and \citet{shen11} (denoted as HShen $\Lambda$) for core collapse supernova (CCSN) simulations is carried out in this work. The dynamical evolution of a protoneutron star (PNS) into a black hole is investigated in core collapse supernova simulations in the general relativistic one dimensional code using the BHB$\Lambda \phi$ and HShen $\Lambda$ equation of state (EoS) tables and different progenitor models from Woosley and Heger \citep{Woos}. Radial profiles of the mass fractions of baryons, the density as well as the temperature in the PNS at different moments in time, are compared for both EoS tables. The behaviour of the central density of the PNS with time is demonstrated for those two $\Lambda$ hyperon EoS tables and compared with their corresponding nuclear EoS tables. It is observed that the black hole formation time is higher in the BHB$\Lambda \phi$ case than in the HShen $\Lambda$ EoS for the entire set of progenitor models adopted here, because the repulsive $\Lambda$-$\Lambda$ interaction makes the BHB$\Lambda \phi$ EoS stiffer. Neutrino emission with the $\Lambda$ hyperon EoS ceases earlier than that of its nuclear counterpart. The long duration evolution of the shock radius and gravitational mass of the PNS after a successful supernova explosion with enhanced neutrino heating are studied with the BHB$\Lambda \phi$ EoS and $s$20WH07 progenitor model. The PNS is found to remain stable for 4 s and might evolve into a cold neutron star.
