    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Amanda Helmfrid; Richárd Bagi; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Supernovae (SNe) are explosions following the death of massive stars. Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) occur when the heavy iron core of these stars collapse in on themselves. The resulting remnant of the core of a CCSN is a compact object: either a black hole or a neutron star. READ MORE
