A supernova is a highly energetic and explosive event that occurs when a star reaches the end of its life cycle. It involves a rapid and violent collapse of the star's core, resulting in a burst of energy and matter being expelled into space. During a supernova, the matter is in a highly energetic and dense state, transitioning from a combination of different states of matter including plasma.

What is neutron degenerate state of matter?

Neutron degenerate matter is a state of matter that occurs in extremely dense environments, such as the cores of neutron stars. In this state, neutrons are packed closely together, and the pressure is so high that the neutrons are forced into a degenerate state, where quantum mechanical effects dominate. This prevents further collapse under gravity due to the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two fermions (like neutrons) can occupy the same quantum state. Consequently, neutron degenerate matter exhibits unique properties and is a critical component in the study of stellar evolution and supernova phenomena.


If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter the core will most likely become a what?

If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter, it will most likely become a black hole. The gravitational force is so strong that the core collapses into a singularity, forming a black hole.


What kind of star is most likely to become a white-dwarf supernova?

A supernova is a star that has exploded into dust and gas. A white-dwarf is a small, hot, dense star nearing the end of its life, that did not have enough mass to go supernova. So the answer is "none".


Does dark matter relate to a supernova?

Probably not. Dark matter is not believed to concentrate well in or around masses the size of stars. But it does concentrate well around galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Most of the mass of a galaxy like ours is believed to be in a sphere of dark matter in the galaxy's spherical halo.


Which physical state of matter is the densest?

Solids are the most dense state of matter

How does supernova come into existence?

A supernova comes to existence when a white dwarf drains the matter from any companion star up to a point in wich it cannot carry anymore, and then it will first implode, and afterwards it will explode, a supernova.


What is the difference of a nebula and a supernova?

A nebula contains stars and other matter; a supernova is just a large enough nova, or star that explodes at the end of its life cycle due to spent fuel

When does a supernova occur?

Well, a star must die eventually! Everything in the universe will be destroyed, or will just die. No matter what.


If an antimatter star went supernova near your solar system would it be any different than a regular supernova?

The observable universe is almost entirely matter (as opposed to antimatter) so it's unlikely that a cloud of antimatter large enough to form a star could exist long enough to form a star anywhere near the solar system; it would be annihilated by collisions with neighboring normal matter. Ignoring that, though, yes, there would be differences. The ejecta of an antimatter supernova would be primarily antimatter, meaning that it would annihilate nearby normal matter and give off massive amounts of gamma radiation that would not be seen with a normal matter supernova.


Does the state of matter effect the amount of matter?

No, The state of matter only affects its' concentration. No matter what state matter is in, it will always have the same mass (assuming it doesn't drip or float away). However, the state of matter can affect the area or volume of matter.


What are the two primary sources of matter?

The two primary sources of matter are stars and supernova explosions. Stars produce elements through nuclear fusion in their cores, while supernova explosions distribute these elements into space, where they can form new stars and planets.
