What star remnant is formed after a supernova?

After a supernova explosion, a number of things that can be left behind, because the star’s center, or core, collapses in less than a second. The star’s outer layers of the star are blown off in the explosion, 3 a contracting core of the star after the supernova. The shock waves and material that fly out from the supernova can cause the formation of new stars.

What kind of explosion depends on a number of factors, including the mass of the original star and the kind of supernova that exists and there are two main types of supernova. Type I supernovas typically don't leave anything behind after an explosion. Including its iron core, all of the star’s matter is blasted into space.

Type II supernovas usually leave behind one of three objects: a neutron star, a pulsar (a spinning neutron star, actually) and a black hole, which is created and it depends on the original mass of the star and, more importantly, the mass that's left over after the supernova.

After the supernova has occurred, the neutron star will take its place. There is still a lot of research that is being done about neutron stars. It seems that not a lot of people know many details about this yet. When a supernova occurs, there are a lot of materials that may fly away from the star.

This can lead to the formation of new and young stars or they may become neutron stars. Some neutron stars that are still too big might eventually collapse and form black holes. Fortunately, there aren’t a lot of black holes that can be found in the universe at present time.
