The collapse of a massive star with low angular momentum content is commonly argued to result in the formation of a black hole without an accompanying bright transient. Our goal in this Letter is to understand the flow in and around a newly-formed black hole, involving accretion and rotation, via general relativistic hydrodynamics simulations aimed at studying the conditions under which infalling material can accrete without forming a centrifugally supported structure and, as a result, generate… Expand

A cool and inflated progenitor candidate for the Type Ib supernova 2019yvr at 2.6 yr before explosion
We present Hubble Space Telescope imaging of a pre-explosion counterpart to SN 2019yvr obtained 2.6 years before its explosion as a type Ib supernova (SN Ib). Aligning to a post-explosionExpand
Accretion-induced Black Hole Spin-up Revised by Numerical General Relativistic MHD
• Physics
• 2021
We investigate the accretion-induced spin-up of the black hole via numerical simulations. Our method is based on general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics of the slowly rotating flows in the KerrExpand
Mass Ejection in Failed Supernovae: Equation of State and Neutrino Loss Dependence
• Physics
• 2021
A failed core-collapse supernova from a nonrotating progenitor can eject mass due to a weakening of gravity associated with neutrino emission from the protoneutron star. This mechanism yieldsExpand
