Supernovae

Supernova Types Type I: binary star system, white dwarf accreting material from a companion. Spectrum is hydrogen poor. Type II: massive stars that experience core fusion to iron, iron core collapses. Spectrum is hydrogen rich.

Death By Mass Main Sequence Stellar Mass END STATE 0.05 to 3 Msun He, C-O White Dwarf 3 to 8 Msun Supernova (Neutron Star) > 8 Msun Supernova (Black Hole) White Dwarf: Electron pressure holds up against gravity Neutron Star: Star is compressed until protons and electrons are crushed together into neutrons. Atomic nuclear pressure supports star against gravity. Black Hole: The ultimate gravitational collapse.
