Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying topics for a report on the core collapse of massive stars, specifically within the context of stellar structure and evolution. Participants share resources and suggest areas of focus related to the phenomenon of core collapse and its implications.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks suggestions for topics to cover in a report on core collapse, expressing difficulty in finding relevant information.
  • Another participant assumes the discussion pertains to hyper-giants and suggests a resource link for further information.
  • Several participants mention the availability of papers on arXiv related to the topic, indicating that the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System may not encompass all relevant research.
  • A participant highlights specific topics of interest, such as neutrino creation and its effects during core collapse.
  • One participant suggests that existing literature by Kippenhan and Bohm-Vitense should provide sufficient information for the report.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that there are numerous resources available on the topic, particularly on arXiv, but there is no consensus on specific topics to include in the report. Some participants express uncertainty about the relevance of certain databases and literature.

Contextual Notes

Participants note limitations in the availability of relevant papers in certain databases and the potential for missing important information. There is also a lack of clarity regarding the specific aspects of core collapse that should be emphasized in the report.

Who May Find This Useful

Students and researchers interested in stellar evolution, astrophysics, and the specific processes involved in the core collapse of massive stars may find this discussion useful.

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.

Plenty of paper at arxiv on this topic.

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

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

Regards,

Tony Silva

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.
