Basic analysis of this document can indicate that the envelope is being shed.
Basically we are looking at a core losing its layers.
Supernova!
At shock breakout:
- Star brightens to ~10 Billion Lsun in minutes.
- Can outshine an entire galaxy of stars!
Outer envelope is blasted off:
- accelerated to a few x 10,000 km/sec
- gas expands & cools off
Only the core remains behind
This is basis for new calc. How big is the core at collapse?
Catastrophic Collapse
At the start of Iron Core collapse, the core properties are:
- Radius ~ 6000 km (~Rearth)
- Density ~ 108 g/cc
A second later, the properties are:
- Radius ~50 km
- Density ~1014 g/cc
- Collapse Speed ~0.25 c !
