Heating releases a few nucleons

e-+ p → e + n

Escaping e carry off energy and lepton number e scatter through charged + neutral current (mean free path < ~1m at the center!): Initially the SW has enough energy .. BUT: • as it travels, it heats and melts Fe (loss of ~8 MeV/nucleon)• neutrino emission is accelerated another energy loss

The energy released by further collapse is trapped

GM2/2R ~ 2.5 1053 ergs (M=1.4Mo; R=10km)

• t~0.01s the shock stalls at R~200-300km (~equilibrium)

• t >0.5s neutrino heating of the nucleon “soup” left in the wake of the shock revives the SW (T~2 MeV + very high entropy): Energy is IN THE RADIATION, NOT IN THE MATTER

• The pressure exerted by this gas pushes the shock outward: 99% of the 1099% of the 105353 ergs ergs released in the collapse is radiated in υ of all flavours

First Observations• Precursor too massive for a “good” explosion mechanism• No spherical symmetry (polarimetry)• Strong mixing (Bochum event)

1. R-T instabilities: mix the C, O, He layers when the outgoing shock front passes through, but cannot accountcannot account for the high velocity of Ni (~3100km/s) (Kifonidis et al., 2000), nor the observed polarization.

2. Convection: size and scale too small to explain asymmetries + NO EFFECT ON NEUTRINO HEATING and shock NO EFFECT ON NEUTRINO HEATING and shock evolutionevolution (Bruenn & Mezzacappa, 1994)

3. Rapid & differential rotation of progenitor (Steinmetz & Höflich, 1992): explains polarization because of blue SGblue SG

4. Rotation of the collapsing core: introduces axial symmetry but weak effectweak effect on the explosion (Zwerger & Müller, 1997).

Why No Pulsar Detection NOW?• Possible that neutron star has accreted matter and turned into a black hole?: 5656Co which powered the l.c. shows that very little Co which powered the l.c. shows that very little mass could have fallen back mass could have fallen back ++ BH truncates a gradually decreasing BH truncates a gradually decreasing flux of neutrinos + doesn’t produce burstsflux of neutrinos + doesn’t produce bursts (Woosley, 1988)(Woosley, 1988)

• Maybe not beamed toward us - if slowish pulsar, expected beaming fraction ~ 0.2 (Manchester, 2006)(Manchester, 2006)

• PossiblyPossibly obscured by dust obscured by dust

• Pulsar magnetic field may take time to develop

• A slow, low E pulsar would not pulse at optical or X-ray wavelengths (except maybe thermal emission from NS surface)

• Although outer parts of nebula probably have low optical depth, we really know very little about conditions right in centre - could be absorption/scattering of radio pulses

Keep searching for a radio pulsar and point X-ray source!

“New” Pulsar Detection ?• Several detections during 1992 – 1996 at different frequencies• Power faded after 1993; last detected 1996• Emission with a complex period modulation near 2.14 ms• Frequency of the signals followed a consistent and predictable

spin-down [~(2-3) x 10-10 Hz s-1] over the several year • Modulation of the 2.14 ms period with a ~1000 s period, which

complicates its detection• Precession due to deformation or crustal density distribution

not symmetric about the axis of rotation

Middleditch et al., 2000:

Santostasi, Johnson, & Frank, 2003:• possible asymmetric deformation that causes the precession• main mechanism for the loss of rotational energy due to emission of gravitational radiation

Limits on Properties of a Central Pulsar• No evidence for central source (PWN or pulsar) at any wavelength: optical luminosity limit ~8 x 1033 erg s-1 (Graves et al. 2005)(Graves et al. 2005), X-ray limit (2-10 keV) ~5 x 1034 erg s-1 (Shtykovskiy et al. 2005)(Shtykovskiy et al. 2005)

• Radio limit of central source from 8 GHz image ~ 1 mJy

• Assume flat spectrum 20 GHz, LPWN ~ 3 x1031 erg s-1

• For the most conservative limit on E of central pulsar, assume PWN only emits at radio frequencies and LPWN = EPSR

• For Po = 200 ms, EPSR = 3 x1031 erg s-1, then Bo ~ 6 x 1010 G
