The remains of the core can form a neutron star or a black hole depending upon the mass of the original star. (science.howstuffworks.com)
Moreover, it may lead to strong asymmetries of the stellar explosion, in course of which the newly formed neutron star will receive a large kick and spin,» describes team member Bernhard Müller the most significant consequences of such dynamical processes in the supernova core. (sciencedaily.com)
When the core reaches about 1.5 times the mass of the Sun, it collapses under the influence of its own gravity and forms a neutron star. (sciencedaily.com)
