Can a star be massive enough to go 'supernova' yet not be massive enough to leave behind a n...
From what I understand, stars that explode as a supernova at the end of their lives become either a black hole or a neutron star, and less massive stars that do not explode become white dwarves, but... …

What similarities do types Ib and Ic supernovae have in common with type 1a?
Are their spectra or their magnitudes more similar to accreting white dwarfs than the other supermassive, main sequence, ex …

What does an electron-capture supernova leave behind? A white dwarf, a neutron star or nothing?
Somehow, none of the many articles I've read about the recent discovery of electron-capture supernovae has specifically said what they leave behind as remnants.....

Why does a white dwarf sometimes go 'nova' and sometimes supernova (type 1a)?
Obviously, when a white dwarf goes truly supernova, there is nothing left, not even, I have heard, a neutron star or black hole... … But when certain white dwarf stars accrete certain amounts or types of matter, they explode fairly violently, but not as violently as a type 1a supernova, and the white dwarf is still there... …

Do neutrinos account for approximately 99% of the energy released by Type 1a supernovae as t...
So many accounts say that neutrinos carry away about 99 percent of the energy from a 'traditional' supernova (giant star at end of its life), but what about a white dwarf detonated after accretion? …
