National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Core-collapse supernovae: Nature's laboratory for particle physics.

DE2001768856

Publication Date	2000
Personal Author	Fryer, C.
Page Count	12
Abstract	Astronomers have long relied upon particle physicists to understand the observable universe, from the Big Bang to stars such as our own Sun. In the past, the transfer of knowledge between astronomers and particle physicists has been in one direction with particle physicists providing astronomers the essential information to understand their observations. But observations of astronomical phenomena can be used to help our understanding of particle physics as well. Because of the extreme densities and temperatures which occur in neutron stars and the outbursts that make them (core-collapse supernovae), astronomers can use the objects to probe aspects of particle physics.
