The Birth of Neutron Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
Presupernova models of massive stars are discussed and their explosion by either the “core bounce” or neutrino energy transport mechanism briefly reviewed. Special consideration is given to those attributes of the stellar evolution and explosion that might influence the properties of the neutron star remnant: its mass, rotation rate, magnetic field, and “kick” velocity.
