We examine the frequencies of the gravitational waves radiating from the protoneutron star produced via the core-collapse supernova. In a way similar to the cold neutron star, we find that the frequencies of the w 1 and f mode gravitational waves can be, respectively, expressed well as a function of the stellar compactness and the stellar average density at each time step after core bounce. Thus, via the simultaneous detection of both the f and w 1 mode gravitational waves, one can determine the protoneutron star mass and radius at each time step. Unlike the cold neutron star, the protoneutron star mass and radius are changing with time because of the mass accretion and cooling, which enables us to identify the equation of state for the high-density region in principle via only one event of supernova.

INTRODUCTIONOwing to the success of the direct detection of gravitational waves from the compact object binary merger, now, the gravitational waves have become a tool to observe the universe. Due to very high permeability of gravitational waves, one expects to newly observe the object that cannot be observed with electromagnetic waves. It is also proposed that the neutron star properties can be extracted via the observation of the gravitational waves. In particular, the asteroseismology of the compact object is one of possibilities of the application of the gravitational wave detection. In fact, it would be possible to see the stellar mass, radius, and equation of state (Andersson & Kokkotas 1996). Compared to the asteroseismology of cold neutron stars, similar attempts in protoneutron stars produced via core-collapse supernova are very few. This is because of the difficulty in constructing the background model of a protoneutron star. That is, the cold neutron star models can be constructed by integrating the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation with a specific equation of state, while one needs to prepare the distribution of the electron fraction and entropy per baryon for the construction of the protoneutron star models. However, these distributions of electron fraction and entropy per baryon can be determined after the numerical simulation. So, in this study, we adopt the results of the relativistic numerical simulation in three dimensions and produce the protoneutron star models at each time step by averaging the three-dimensional results. Then, we focus on the spacetime oscillation, the so-called w mode, and the fundamental oscillations, the so-called f mode, and systematically examine those frequencies of gravitational waves. More details of this study can be seen in Sotani et al. (2017).
PROTONEUTRON STAR MODELSTo prepare the protoneutron star models, we adopt the numerical results in Kuroda et al. (2016), which is carried out with 15M ⊙ progenitor model and with two different equations of state, that is, SFHx and TM1. SFHx and TM1 are, respectively, the soft and stiff equation of state. In addition, we focus on the early phase after core-bounce u...
