Explosion and remnants of massive stars
... In single stars of intermediate mass, the degenerate CO core cannot grow to the Chandrasekhar limit because mass loss quickly removes the envelope during the AGB phase (Ch. 10). Even if the Chandrasekhar limit were reached, the remaining H-rich envelope would cause a strong hydrogen signature in the ...
