Black Hole Formation Accompanied by the Supernova Explosion of a 40 M ⊙ Progenitor Star

We have simulated the collapse and evolution of the core of a solar-metallicity 40 M _⊙ star and find that it explodes vigorously by the neutrino mechanism, despite its very high “compactness.” Within ∼1.5 s of explosion, a black hole forms. The explosion is very asymmetrical and has a total explosi...
