Supernova

Transcript: A supernova is the violently explosive death of a star with the corresponding release of radiant energy, a flood of neutrinos, and the creation and ejection of heavy elements into space, the most spectacular phenomena in astronomy. Supernovae can occur in two basically different ways. …

Supernova

Transcript: Consider a binary system where a giant or a supergiant star is in orbit around a white dwarf and where a mass transfer between the lobes pushes the white dwarf over the Chandrasekhar limit. At this point the white dwarf collapses catastrophically to form either a neutron star or a blac…

Chandrashekar Limit

Transcript: White dwarfs cannot have a larger mass than about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun because above this mass the white dwarf structure becomes unstable; gravity overcomes the degeneracy pressure of the electrons and further collapse occurs. This is called the Chandrasekhar Limit, and it app…

Distance from the Supernovae

Transcript: When a massive star dies the supernova that results can rival an entire galaxy in brightness, so it can be seen to a very large distance, a billion lightyears or more. When a single massive star dies it does not do so in a well regulated way, but the supernovae that result from a binar…
