An Overview of Supernovae - Ep. 27

In this stellar episode, join us as Felix and Anish dive deep into the explosive world of supernovae! They first give an overview of how supernovae are formed and then transition to different phenomena within supernovae (i.e., gamma-ray bursts and nucleosynthesis! Listen in to even learn about different classification of supernovae like a core-collapse type supernovae!

🔭 What We’ll Cover:

• Formation of Supernovae: Discover the incredible processes that lead to the creation of these cosmic explosions. From the life cycles of massive stars to the critical moments that trigger supernovae, we’ll break down the science behind these awe-inspiring events.

• Unique Classifications: Learn about the different types of supernovae, including the distinct characteristics that set Type I and Type II supernovae apart. We’ll explore the subcategories within these types and explain what makes each one unique.

• Astrophysical Impact: Understand the significance of supernovae in the universe, including their role in creating heavy elements and influencing star formation.
