● Looking into the heart of a core collapse supernova ● - through observations of neutrinos ● (up to now only SN1987A) ● ● - through observations of gravitational waves ● (not yet occured! Would provide kind of Rosetta stone!) ● ● - through simulations ● (already a 40 year effort ; extremely complex & ● expensive 6D radiation-hydrodynamics problem ● requiring ~10 21 operations / simulation ● or ~1CPU-yr @ 30 Teraflop / simulation) ● ● ●
• • Gravitational radiation - ripples in the fabric of spacetime (relative to smooth background) - far from strong gravitational fields (weak gravitation) g = + h |h | ≪ 1 Minkowski metric + small perturbation - plug into Einstein field equations --> wave equation T T • □h jk = 0 ( hT T jk is analogue of vector potential A i in electrodynamics )
