The evolution and explosion of massive stars

Volume: 74, Issue: 4, Pages: 1015 - 1071

Abstract
Like all true stars, massive stars are gravitationally confined thermonuclear reactors whose composition evolves as energy is lost to radiation and neutrinos. Unlike lower-mass stars (M\ensuremath{\lesssim}{8M}_{\ensuremath{\bigodot}}),however, no point is ever reached at which a massive star can be fully supported by electron degeneracy. Instead, the center evolves to ever higher temperatures, fusing ever heavier elements until a core of...
