Supernovae
Core-collapse supernovae release over 99% of their binding energy via a burst of neutrinos across all three flavors. These events provide the only direct observational window into the immediate aftermath of a stellar collapse, allowing physicists to test the dynamics of neutron star formation. An interesting anomaly noted in the SN 1987A event was the slight temporal dispersion between the arrival times of the $ve$ and $v\mu$ components, which has been theoretic… -

The preceding evolutionary stage involves the Red Giant phase, where core hydrogen fusion ceases, forcing the star/) to expand dramatically as shell hydrogen burning commences. For solar-mass stars, core helium ignition occurs via the Helium Flash. Once helium is exhausted, the star/) sheds its outer envelope, often forming a [Planetary Nebula](/entries/pl…
