Equation of State Effects on Gravitational Waves from Rotating Core Collapse

Gravitational waveforms from 1824 fiducial and detailed electron capture simulations, sampled at 65535 Hz. The file is in HDF5 format, using the flags {dtype="f4",compression="gzip",shuffle=True,fletcher32=True}. Each group is contained in the "waveforms" top-level group and is named with the "A" and "omega_0" values from Equation 5 and the EOS. In each sub-group is a dataset containing timestamps in seconds (t=0 is core bounce) and a dataset containing the strain multiplied by the distance in centimeters. The values of A in kilometers, omega_0 in radians/s, and the EOS are stored as attributes of each group.

In addition, the Ye(rho) profiles are stored in the "yeofrho" top-level group. Each sub-group is labeled by the EOS used to generate the profile.

Finally, select reduced data is stored in the "reduced_data" top-level group. The following quantities are each stored as a 1824-element array, where elements of the same index from different datasets correspond to the same 2D simulation.

A(km) -- differential rotation parameter in Equation 5
D*bounce_amplitude_1(cm) -- The minimum of the first (negative) GW strain peak, multiplied by distance.
D*bounce_amplitude_2(cm) -- The maximum of the second (positive) GW strain peak, multiplied by distance.
EOS -- the equation of state used in the simulation
MbarICgrav(Msun) -- gravitational mass of the inner core, averaged over time after core bounce
Mgrav1_IC_b(Msun) -- gravitational mass of the inner core at bounce
Mrest_IC_b(Msun) -- rest mass of the inner core at bounce
SNR(aLIGOfrom10kpc) -- signal to noise ratio of the GW signal, assuming a distance of 10kpc and aLIGO sensitivity
T_c_b(MeV) -- central temperature at bounce
Ye_c_b -- central electron fraction at bounce
alpha_c_b -- central lapse at bounce
beta1_IC_b -- ratio of rotational kinetic to gravitational potential energy of the inner core at bounce
fpeak(Hz) -- frequency of the post-bounce GW oscillations
j_IC_b() -- angular momentum of the inner core at bounce
omega_0(rad|s) -- initial (pre-collapse) rotation rate used in Equation 5
omega_max(rad|s) -- maximum rotation rate achieved outside of 5km
rPNSequator_b(km) -- radius of the rho=10^11 g/ccm contour along the equator at bounce
rPNSpole_b(km) -- radius of the rho=10^11 g/ccm contour along the pole at bounce
r_omega_max(km) -- radius where omega_max occurs
rho_c_b(g|ccm) -- central density at bounce (not time averaged)
rhobar_c_postbounce(g|ccm) -- central density time averaged after bounce
s_c_b(kB|baryon) -- central entropy at bounce
t_postbounce_end(s) -- time of the end of the postbounce signal (t=0 is core bounce)
tbounce(s) -- time of core bounce (t=0 is the beginning of the simulation)
