Supernovae and Neutron Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
The formation of a neutron star and the event observed as a supernova are presumed by most astrophysicists to be simultaneous. The theoretical difficulty of understanding this is compounded by a hierarchy of conflicting phenomena dominated by the possibility of effective neutrino transport of the heat of the neutron star formation to the outer envelope. A thermonuclear detonation of a carbon core may take place at just the right density such that both neutron star formation and neutrino assisted envelope ejection can occur together.
