Does a supernova implode or explode to form a black hole?

It depends on the mass of the star. When massive stars die the result is usually an enormous explosion called a supernova, but the core will collapse to form a dense remnant. If the remnant is less than 3 times the mass of the sun then it will form a neutron star. If it is greater than 3 times the mass of the sun it will form a black hole. Extremely massive stars may collapse directly into a black hole with no supernova.


What is the name for a supernova cloud?

Nebula. Some nebulae are formed as the result of supernova explosions. The material thrown off from the supernova explosion is ionized by the supernova remnant. One of the best examples of this is the Crab Nebula, in Taurus. It is the result of a recorded supernova, SN 1054, in the year 1054 and at the centre of the nebula is a neutron star, created during the explosion.


What happen when a supernova collapses suddenly?

A supernova occurs AFTER a star collapses suddenly. See related question


Which of these is least likely to result from a supernova?

your mom would be the correct answer.


A star the size of two stellar masses forms as a result of a supernova explosion what is the star called?

Following certain types of Supernova events there can often be a gravitational collapse of massive stars and this can result in the stellar remnant becoming a neutron star. Based on the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit the solar mass of a neutron star can range from 1.5 to 3.0 solar masses.

Is a red dwarf star made from a supernova?

No. A Red Dwarf is a very low mass star - less than our Sun. Only massive stars > 20 Suns will result in a supernova [See Related]

Do scientist believe a binary star produces a nova?

A binary star may, or may not, be related to a nova or supernova. In some specific cases, a supernova is specifically caused by a close binary system; but not all binary systems result in novas, and not all novas come from binary stars.

What type of objects do stars end their life as?

They will end up as neutron stars or even black holes. Usually they will first explode as a supernova (of type1a).


Can a black hole stop a supernova?

A black hole is often the RESULT of a supernova explosion. When a massive star dies, the star explodes. The core of the star is crushed, while the outer layers of the star are blown away into space. This explosion is a nova or supernova. The early astronomers, seeing a burst of light where no star had ever been seen before, called them "nova stellarum", or "new star". When the core of the star is crushed by the explosion, the result is a neutron star or a black hole, depending on how densely the core is collapsed.


How did a black hole get created?

Black holes are the result of a gravitational collapse of a massive star. This happens once the star runs out of fuel; before it does, the radiation produces enough pressure to counter gravity.


Why are supernova considered factories for the production of heavy elements?

Many Supernova explosion is a result of a nebula the Nubula was the reason why we have a sun 5 billion years ago and today.


When does supernova occur?

If two stars begin to orbit. However, novae are more common that supernovae, so you can't really say if the result of a binary will be a nova or a supernova.
