It is my general understanding that once a star goes supernova, the remnant core of the dead star will (always?) gravitationally contract into either a neutron star, or if massive enough, into a black hole.
However, does current observation/model rule out a scenario whereupon a star goes supernova and blows off enough mass that the remaining core does not have sufficient mass to form a neutron star or black hole. Instead the remnant core contracts into a white dwarf?
