The steps involved in the collapse of a supernova's core are often incomplete and often contradictory.
Could you point me to a resource where these steps are clearly indicated?
Thanks

Can you please cite specific textbooks or references that you think are incomplete or contradictory about supernova collapse?

I aimed to accurately list the various stages of the implosion.
Sorry, did I miss this? Where do you list the various stages of the implosion?
GIASAL said:
However, there are differences in the order of succession, or some steps are ignored.
But what specifically are the differences or ignored steps that concern you?

For example, Wiki has a different description of the collapse, such as this site:
https://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/c/core-collapse
Good, you've cited one description of stellar collapse. Now can you reference another description that you judge to be different and list those differences so we can compare and comment?
