Gravitational Waves from a Core-Collapse Supernova: Perspectives with Detectors in the Late 2020s and Early 2030s

Abstract

We studied the detectability and reconstruction of gravitational waves from core-collapse supernova multidimensional models using simulated data from detectors predicted to operate in the late 2020s and early 2030s. We found that the detection range will improve by a factor of around two with respect to the second-generation gravitational-wave detectors, and the sky localization will significantly improve. We analyzed the reconstruction accuracy for the lower frequency and higher frequency portion of supernova signals with a 250 Hz cutoff. Since the waveform’s peak frequencies are usually at high frequencies, the gravitational-wave signals in this frequency band were reconstructed more accurately.
