Hello everydody.

Well i need to write a repor (5 pages maximum) about Core Collapse of Massive Stars to my discipline Stellar Structure and Evolution .
The problem is that i have read some books like https://www.amazon.com/dp/0387580131/?tag=pfamazon01-20 and i have no ideias.
I gained acess to SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) to find some papers about this theme and nothing relevant appears.

Please send me some topics to discuss on the report.

Thanks

Hi there,
By massive stars I assume you're referring to hyper-giants?
If so I could post down a link instead of me going through the whole process for I may miss some important information.
Here you may find this handy:

But as you have mentioned that you need to gather about five pages of information,this may do a little.

Upper 6-10 Solar masses. When the star have sufficient mass to reach the iron production. And finish in a supernova.

Plenty of paper at arxiv on this topic.

The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) encompass arvix papers.

I find some papers. Click http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3185044/noname"

But i only want some topics to discuss like neutrino criation and effects

There are many papers on arxiv that do not appear in the ADS database.
 
Well,

I think that reading Kippenhan and Bohm-Vitense you should have had some idea! Everything you need is there.
