Gotta Go Fast: A Generalization of the Escape Speed to Fluid-dynamical Explosions and Implications for Astrophysical Transients

A star’s ability to explode in a core-collapse supernova is correlated with its density profile, ρ ( r ), such that compact stars with shallow density profiles preferentially “fail” and produce black holes. This correlation can be understood from a mass perspective, as shallower density profiles enc...
