What determines which stage occurs after a super nova?

Answer 1

No one knows for sure, since there is not enough information to figure it out. After a supernova, the star will either turn into a black hole, a neutron star, or a pulsar. But, there is no scientific evidence that proves which one the star will turn into after a supernova.

Answer 2

The mass of the remaining core of the star after a supernova determines which stage occurs next. If the core is between 1.4 to 3 times the mass of the sun, it may become a neutron star. If the core is more than 3 times the mass of the sun, it may collapse further to form a black hole.

Answer 3

The Supernova is the death of a star - whatever happens to the remnants is in the lap of gravity.

Answer 4

The final stages of a star is determined by its mass. The end of the Red Giant stage comes after the star has exhausted its supply of Hydrogen and begins to fused Helium and Carbon together.
