Craig ; Barkat, Zalman Abstract The nature of detonations in evolved stellar cores is an important factor in determining whether or not a star explodes and whether it leaves a remnant. An investigation has been made of the local effects of the propagation of a detonation (CJD) fueled by 12C or 160 burning under conditions of high electron degeneracy, the type of CJD of most immediate astrophysical interest. If the initial matter is composed entirely of carbon and oxygen in any ratio, a CJD will be a self-consistent phenomenon for any reasonable initial temperatures and for initial densities greater than 10 g . The temperature, density, and pressure behind the detonation front are tabulated as a function of the initial density and the energy released in the front. The astrophysical significance of the results is discussed. Publication: The Astrophysical Journal Pub Date: August 1971 DOI: 10.1086/151043 Bibcode: 1971ApJ...167..465B full text sources ADS |
