Hi,
This is my first post. If this question is already answered please direct me there. I don't know yet how to narrow my search in the forum.
If a core-collapse SN starts as soon as the degenerate core reaches Chandrasekhar limit and the outer boundary of that core is detached from the surrounding stellar material, then why do we have remnants of different masses after the stellar material is blown away? I would expect exactly 1.4 solar masses remnants.
Thanks,
Daniel
