Question

For supernova explosions caused by collasping cores, the core itself will either become a __________ or a ___________. (choose the two correct answers) black hole supernova remnant red dwarf neutron star white dwarf

Answer 1

When supernova explodes because of the collapsing cores, the core itself will become a neutron star or a white dwarf without undergoing any kind of explosive transformation. The white dwarf stars can also become supernova if they orbit another star in a binary system and steal material from their companion. In addition, the end state of a star, whether it will explode as a supernova become a black hole.

 

Answer 2

Answer: For supernova explosions caused by collapsing cores, the core itself will either become a Black-hole or a Neutron Star.

Explanation:

A massive star becomes a Red Super-giant towards the end of its journey. It goes supernova. The inner core becomes either a neutron star or a black-hole. The remnant becomes neutron star if the initial mass of the star is three to eight solar mass. Star having initial mass more than eight solar mass forms a black-hole after supernova.

Hence, the correct options are:

For supernova explosions caused by collapsing cores, the core itself will either become a Black-hole or a Neutron Star.
