Neutron Stars and Black Holes (Lecture - 03: Supernovae and Neutron Stars) by G Srinivasan

[@skyrien]

This is an incredible lecture series; love G Srinivasan's passion for the history of science; truly engaging!

[@ronarkom1611]

Professor G's enthusiasm and passion make this lecture series a real treat!

"You can buy neutron stars above 1.4 solar masses in supermarkets, but nature ALLWAYS makes neutron stars that are at most 1.4 solar masses". This is a great lecture series.

Clarification on Type 1a supernova: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_Ia_supernova

[@ranjitneelakandan9551]

That introduction of two neutron stars merging under the Type 1a supernova title is a bit confusing. Also it seems that a Type 1a supernova should not leave back a remnant.

“It has become very apparent that SNe Ia are a rather diverse group of objects, contrary to what was assumed over a decade ago. While it is becoming an accepted view that more than one progenitor scenario probably contributes (perhaps even to explain ‘normal’ SNe Ia), the ‘progenitor problem’ remains one of the longest-standing unsolved problems in stellar astrophysics” “The realization in the last decade that SNe Ia could very plausibly arise from merging WDs in hydrodynamical simulations, and that the exploding WD did not have to approach the Chandrasekhar mass limit before detonating, has expanded the allowed parameter space for the SN Ia progenitor population. It has also called into question the viability of SNe Ia as standardizable cosmological candles.” “Type Ia supernova sub-classes and progenitor origin” -Ashley J. Ruiter
