In this talk, James Binney will outline the physics that leads to prodigeous release of energy in core-collapse and deflagration supernovae.

Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

What makes stars go bang?

Members of the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics host a morning of Theoretical Physics roughly three times a year on a Saturday morning. The mornings consist of three talks pitched to explain an area of our research to an audience familiar with physics at about the second-year undergraduate level and are open to all Oxford Alumni. Topics include Quantum Mechanics, Black Holes, Dark Matter, Plasma, Particle Accelerators and The Large Hadron Collider.
