Astronomy Stars Whirling 'Collapsar' Stars Gave Universe Its Gold News By Charles Q. Choi published May 8, 2019 ...

Detecting collapsar-generated gravitational waves would help scientists better understand the inner structure of the star upon collapse and would also enable them to learn about the properties of ...

Furthermore, one collapsar can produce so much more material than a neutron star merger, specifically 30 times more r-process material.

Gravity squeezes it down to a black hole, and a gamma-ray burst is finally generated. Two papers scheduled for an upcoming Astrophysical Journal Letters appear to support the collapsar model.

New research suggests most of Earth's heavy metals were spewed from a largely overlooked kind of star explosion called a collapsar. In a finding that may overthrow our understanding of where Earth ...
