GR1D includes rotation in an approximate way (1.5D), comes with multiple finite-temperature nuclear equations of state (EOS), and treats neutrinos in the post-core-bounce phase via a 3-flavor leakage scheme and a heating prescription. We chose the favored K_0=220 MeV-variant of the Lattimer & Swesty (1990) EOS and present collapse calculations using the progenitor models of Limongi & Chieffi (2006). We show that there is no direct (or ``prompt'') black hole formation in the collapse of ordinary massive stars (8 M_Sun ~< M_ZAMS ~< 100 M_Sun) and present first results from black hole formation simulations that include rotation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-10-29T20:05:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "98.62.Js", "97.60.Bw", "98.70.Rz" ], "keywords": [ "black hole formation", "open-source code gr1d", "stellar collapse", "open-source eulerian spherically-symmetric general-relativistic hydrodynamics", "eulerian spherically-symmetric general-relativistic hydrodynamics code" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "AIP Conf.
