“Introduction to Astrophysics” S:1 E:19 Supernovas and Neutron Stars

S:1 E:19 Supernovas and Neutron Stars Look inside a star that weighs several solar masses to chart its demise after fusing all possible nuclear fuel. Such stars end in a gigantic explosion called a supernova, blowing off outer material and producing a super-compact neutron star, a billion times denser than a white dwarf. Study the rapid spin of neutron stars and the energy they send beaming across the cosmos.
