Erratum: Progenitor-explosion connection and remnant birth masses for neutrino-driven supernovae of iron-core progenitors (2012, ApJ, 757, 69)

TL;DR

This erratum corrects previous errors in fallback mass calculations for neutrino-driven supernovae, clarifying the impact on neutron star mass estimates and guiding readers to updated data from subsequent studies.

Contribution

It provides a detailed correction and explanation of the fallback mass errors in the original 2012 paper, emphasizing the importance of accurate hydrodynamical analysis.

Findings

Corrected fallback mass estimates for supernova models

Clarified impact on neutron star mass predictions

Directed readers to updated data from Ertl et al. (2015) and Sukhbold et al. (2015)

Abstract

An erroneous interpretation of the hydrodynamical results led to an incorrect determination of the fallback masses in Ugliano et al. (2012), which also (on a smaller level) affects the neutron star masses provided in that paper. This problem was already addressed and corrected in the follow-up works by Ertl et al. (2015) and Sukhbold et al. (2015). Therefore, the reader is advised to use the new data of the latter two publications. In the remaining text of this Erratum we present the differences of the old and new fallback results in detail and explain the origin of the mistake in the original analysis by Ugliano et al. (2012).
