either collapses to a neutron star or black hole, or is completely destroyed to form a diffuse nebula. The peak optical luminosity of a supernova can be...

Supernova neutrinos are weakly interactive elementary particles produced during a core-collapse supernova explosion. A massive star collapses at the end...

A Type II supernova or SNII (plural: supernovae) results from the rapid collapse and violent explosion of a massive star. A star must have at least eight...

Core collapse can refer to: The collapse of the stellar core of a massive star, such as the core collapse that produces a supernova Core collapse (cluster)...

supporting a supermassive star's core against gravitational collapse. This pressure drop leads to a partial collapse, which in turn causes greatly accelerated...

is an essential component of supernova nucleosynthesis. A shock wave rebounded from matter collapsing onto the dense core, if strong enough to lead to...

disrupting the balance of gravity and radiation in its core and resulting in a core collapse supernova. It is expected that a star like UY Scuti should evolve...

supernova remnant, a type Ia supernova. The abundance of oxygen relative to iron in the remnant of SN 1604 is roughly solar, whereas a core-collapse scenario...

layers of the star, and it will collapse into a black hole without producing a visible supernova outburst. A star with a core mass slightly below this level—in...

experiments with artificial neutrino sources. SN 1987A appears to be a core-collapse supernova, which should result in a neutron star given the size of the original...

SN 2023ixf is a type II-L (core collapse) supernova located in the Pinwheel Galaxy. It was first observed on 19 May 2023 by Kōichi Itagaki and immediately...

for electron-positron pair creation, where it then undergoes a core-collapse supernova or hypernova. It is possible that this is what occurred during...

νp-process (nu p process). Massive stars end their life in a core-collapse supernova. In such a supernova, a shockfront from an explosion runs from the center...

suggested the material ejected from the reexpanded core of a core-collapse supernova, as part of supernova nucleosynthesis, or decompression of neutron star...

energetic supernova which is believed to result from an extreme core collapse scenario. In this case, a massive star (>30 solar masses) collapses to form...

known type II (core-collapse) supernova (the type II is caused by the cataclysmic explosion of the outer layers of a massive star as its core implodes). A...

until they develop an iron core, at which point the core collapses to produce a Type II supernova. Once these massive stars leave the main sequence, their...

to experience a core-collapse supernova with a small chance of producing a long-duration gamma-ray burst. The possibility of a supernova explosion from...

of energy in the core will cause it to collapse as a pair-instability supernova (PISN), sometimes called a pair-creation supernova (PCSN). A PISN is...

core collapses, powered by release of gravitational potential energy via neutrino emission. One model for the formation of this category of supernova...
