Description

The only means to get direct and immediate information about the engine of core collapse supernovae is from observations of neutrinos emitted by the forming neutron star, and through gravitational waves. The latter are emitted when the explosion involves time-dependent asphericities because of rotation, magnetic fields, non-radial flow, and anisotropic neutrino emission. In my talk I will review the current status of the efforts to predict the gravitational wave signal of core collapse supernovae, particularly addressing the results of some recent 3D studies.
