Description

The equation of state (EoS) of hot and dense matter plays a fundamental role in the understanding of core-collapse supernova. A phase transition from hadronic to exotic phases might occur in the early post-bounce phase of a core collapse supernova. We generate a full tabular equation of state of dense matter with $\Lambda$ hyperons. The $\beta$-equilibrated EoS involving hyperon-hyperon interaction results in a $2.1 M_{\odot}$ neutron star, that is compatible with the latest observations. We adopt a density-dependent relativistic mean field model(DD2) for a broad range of density ($\sim 10^4-10^{15}$ g/cm$^3$), temperature($T=0.01\quad \mathrm{to}\quad 10^{2.4}$ MeV ) and charge-to-baryon number ratio ($Y_p= 0 \quad \mathrm{to} \quad0.65$ ). The DD model is exploited to describe uniform and non-uniform matter in a consistent manner. Further, light and heavy nuclei along with interacting nucleons are treated in the nuclear statistical equilibrium (NSE) model of Hempel and Schaffner-Bielich (HS) which includes excluded volume effects and DD relativistic interactions. We investigate the role of strange hyperons in the dynamical collapse of a non-rotating massive star to a black hole using 1D General relativistic simulation $GR1D$. We follow the dynamical formation and collapse of a protoneutron star (PNS) from the gravitational collapse of a massive progenitor of Wooseley, adopting our DD2 hyperonic EoS. We also study the neutrino signals that may be used as a probe to core collapse supernova. We compare our results with those of Shen EoS.
