Low-energy Explosions in a Gravitational Field: Implications for Sub-energetic Supernovae and Fast X-Ray Transients

Observations and theory suggest that core-collapse supernovae can span a range of explosion energies, and when sub-energetic the shockwave initiating the explosion can decelerate to speeds comparable to the escape speed of the progenitor. In these cases, gravity will complicate the explosion hydrody...
