Supernova mechanisms

HA Bethe - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1990 - APS
Supernovae of Type II occur at the end of the evolution of massive stars. The phenomenon
begins when the iron core of the star exceeds a Chandrasekhar mass. The collapse of that …

Neutrino flavour transformation in supernovae

H Duan, JP Kneller - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Rapid progress has been made during recent years in the understanding of the flavour
oscillations that occur as neutrinos traverse through supernova. The previous paradigm has …

Supernova remnants: the X-ray perspective

J Vink - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2012 - Springer
Supernova remnants are beautiful astronomical objects that are also of high scientific
interest, because they provide insights into supernova explosion mechanisms, and because …

Neutrino heating, convection, and the mechanism of Type-II supernova explosions.

HT Janka, E Müller - Astronomy and Astrophysics, v. 306, p …, 1996 - adsabs.harvard.edu

Two-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations of SN 1987A (Arnett, Fryxell, and Muller 1989)
have been confirmed and extended. A systematic sequence of calculations, differing only in …

Asymmetric supernovae, pulsars, magnetars, and gamma-ray bursts

JC Wheeler, I Yi, P Höflich, L Wang - The Astrophysical Journal, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We outline the possible physical processes, associated timescales, and energetics that
could lead to the production of pulsars, jets, asymmetric supernovae, and weak γ-ray bursts …

Cobalt-56 γ-ray emission lines from the type Ia supernova 2014J

E Churazov, R Sunyaev, J Isern, J Knödlseder, P Jean… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
A type Ia supernova is thought to be a thermonuclear explosion of either a single carbon–
oxygen white dwarf or a pair of merging white dwarfs. The explosion fuses a large amount of …
