The 40 pages that link to Core-collapse supernova, each with the reason it gives.

• Stellar evolutionBroader topic: It marks the violent endpoint of many massive stars and can leave a neutron star or black hole.

• Star formationBroader topic: The massive stars born through this process can later end in core-collapse explosions.

• Neutron starRelated: This explosion often accompanies the collapse that leaves a neutron star behind.

• White dwarfCompared with: Unlike a white dwarf's usual origin, massive-star core collapse produces neutron stars or black holes.

• SupernovaBroader topic: This pathway follows the collapse of a massive star’s iron-rich core.

• Supernova remnantRelated: These explosions often leave neutron stars or black holes inside their remnants.

• PulsarRelated: The collapse can leave behind the neutron-star remnant that becomes a pulsar.

• Initial mass functionRelated: The high-mass tail helps determine how often a population produces these explosions.

• Gravitational collapseBroader topic: Here collapse initiates a catastrophic stellar explosion rather than quiet stellar birth.

• Stellar massRelated: Sufficiently massive stars can build cores that collapse and trigger supernovae.

• Asymptotic giant branchCompared with: It is a typical massive-star ending, unlike the envelope-ejection route of branch stars.

• Supernova nucleosynthesisNarrower topic: This explosion type supplies the shock, neutrinos, and ejecta for many proposed pathways.

• Wolf–Rayet starNarrower topic: Wolf–Rayet stars can end their lives when their depleted cores collapse.

• BetelgeuseRelated: Betelgeuse is expected to end its life in a core-collapse supernova.

• Massive starBroader topic: It is a common explosive endpoint after fusion can no longer support the star's core.

• Neutron star mergerCompared with: This stellar death can create neutron stars, whereas a merger combines existing compact remnants.

• SN 1987ANarrower topic: SN 1987A was the first nearby core-collapse supernova observed in detail.

• Galactic chemical evolutionCompared with: It rapidly supplies alpha elements, unlike the typically delayed iron-rich Type Ia channel.

• R-processCompared with: Ordinary supernova conditions struggle to explain the full heavy-element r-process inventory.

• Red supergiantRelated: Many red supergiants end when their iron-rich cores collapse.

• Binary neutron starRelated: Each neutron star forms in a supernova, whose impulse can disrupt or preserve the binary.

• MagnetarRelated: A magnetar is born in the aftermath of a stellar core-collapse explosion.

• Cosmic dustRelated: Ejecta can cool and form fresh dust, though later shocks destroy some of it.

• Neutron degeneracy pressureRelated: Neutron degeneracy pressure contributes to the rebound and remnant formation during core collapse.

• Pair-instability supernovaCompared with: Unlike core collapse, pair instability can unbind the entire star without forming a neutron star or black hole.

• Stellar coreRelated: The fate of a massive core can trigger the star’s catastrophic explosion.

• Blue supergiantRelated: Many blue supergiants ultimately die in core collapse, though their exact paths vary.

• Masatoshi KoshibaNarrower topic: Neutrinos detected by Koshiba’s team carried information from the collapsing stellar core.

• Presolar grainRelated: A small fraction of presolar grains carry isotope patterns attributed to supernova ejecta.

• Messier 83Broader topic: Several of Messier 83’s observed supernovae resulted from massive-star deaths.

• Type II supernovaNarrower topic: Type II events are a major observational class of core-collapse supernovae.

• Carbon burningRelated: Carbon burning contributes to the layered structure of stars that may later undergo core collapse.

• Galactic habitable zoneRelated: Nearby explosions can expose planets to harmful radiation and cosmic rays.

• SN 1054Narrower topic: SN 1054 is understood as a core-collapse explosion.

• Stellar black holeRelated: The collapse can expel the star’s outer layers while leaving a black hole behind.

• NGC 6946Narrower topic: Most of NGC 6946’s observed supernovae belong to this broad class.

• Astronomical black holesRelated: Some stellar collapses leave a black hole rather than a neutron star.

• Cygnus LoopRelated: This is a leading explanation for the explosion that created the Cygnus Loop.

• HypernovaNarrower topic: Hypernovae are an unusually energetic subset of massive-star core-collapse explosions.

• Type Ib and Ic supernovaeNarrower topic: Both types arise from core collapse after massive stars lose their outer hydrogen layers.
