| Research Abstract |
By performing three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic simulations which model neutrino-driven supernova explosions, we find that the emitted gravitational waves (GWs) change stochastically with time due to the interplay between the standing accretion shock instability (SASI) and convection. In order to estimate correctly the GWs originated from anisotropic neutrino emission, we propose a ray-tracing method. Our result show that the GW spectra have its peak around 100 Hz, which is found to be a typical timescale of the growth of SASI that assists the neutrino-driven explosion.
