According to recent models,supernova explosions are driven by:
A) shock waves from rebounding gas.
B) absorption of light from the collapsing core.
C) neutrino flows.
D) magnetic fields.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent models suggest that supernova explosions are primarily driven by the powerful flow of neutrinos produced during the core-collapse process. As the core collapses, it becomes incredibly dense and hot, producing a flood of neutrinos that can escape the star much more easily than other forms of radiation. This intense neutrino flow can interact with the surrounding material and generate a powerful shock wave that drives the explosion. While other factors like magnetic fields and shockwaves from rebounding gas may play a role, neutrino flow is currently believed to be the primary driver of supernova explosions.
