Neutrinos are cosmic tricksters, paradoxically hardly there but lethal to stars significantly more massive than the sun.

Astronomers have traced a mysterious blast of X-rays to a star that, like a cosmic action hero, just refused to die.

We do not know whether all core-collapse supernovae follow the same pathway or not. NASA/CXC/M.Weiss; X-ray: NASA/CXC/GSFC/U.Hwang & J.Laming. This is where the core-collapse supernova happens.

This leads to the most common general type of supernova in the Universe: a core-collapse supernova. The remnant of supernova 1987a, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud some 165,000 light years ...

Core of a core-collapse supernova at the onset of explosion. Neutrinos emitted from the protoneutron at the center (bluish sphere) are absorbed by the gas behind the shock front, ...

In the core-collapse supernova type, the beginning of the supernova is marked by when the core of the star starts fusing silicon into iron. Usually, ...

The oft-predicted third type, the so-called electron collapse supernova, ... "With SN 2018zd, the authors estimate an event rate of 0.6–8.5% of all core collapse supernovae; ...

Because the supernova "family tree" was laid out according to the light from supernovae, not their cause, there's technically also a type Ib and Ic, but since their actual cause is core collapse ...

Astronomers suspected there might be a link between SN185 and the remnant structure dubbed RCW 86, but for a long time, they assumed the event that formed RCW 86 had been a core-collapse supernova ...

Hypernovae, or collapsars, are exceptionally energetic core-collapse supernovae stemming from the rapid collapse of stars exceeding 30 solar masses into a black hole. Key takeaways sponsored by ...

An iron-core collapse supernova occurs with massive stars (greater than ten solar masses), which collapse so violently that it causes a huge, catastrophic explosion.
