While the energy of this co-produced electromagnetic radiation is orders of magnitude smaller than the gravitational radiation, the electromagnetic power is shown to be sufficient to re-ignite fusion outside of the iron core. The re-ignition of fusion in the silicon layer of the collapsing star could provide the means to prevent the supernova from stalling. We conclude that this production of electromagnetic radiation via the gravitational wave should be included in computer simulations which model core-collapse supernova.
