Supernovae. Part II: the aftermath

Abstract

Part I [Rev. Mod. Phys. 54, 1183 (1982)] explored stellar evolution leading up to supernovae and observations and models of the events themselves. Part II addresses the aftermath: supernova remnants, products, and by-products, including nucleosynthesis, and the future of supernova research. Some of the important questions are: (1) How close is the association among supernova events, pulsar production, and remnant production? (2) Where does most of the energy from neutron star formation go? and (3) How do supernovae interact with the rest of the universe, for instance in heating and stirring the interstellar medium, accelerating cosmic rays, and triggering or inhibiting star formation? © 1983 The American Physical Society.
