A New Explosion Mechanism for Core-Collapse Supernovae

Authors: Mario Everaldo de Souza

It is proposed that the explosion, or actually, the fast expansion of the envelope of a core-collapse supernova is caused by the action of a powerful electric field that is formed as a consequence of the action of the shock wave on the interface between the proto-neutron star and the plasma of the envelope during the first minutes of the collapse. The proposal explains also the shell-like shape of core-collapse supernovae remnants, the reason why there are different ejecta velocities and the origin of the radial magnetic field which has been observed in young supernovae and shows that a supernova is a very powerful particle accelerator. It is shown for the first time how the dynamics of the explosion is clearly connected to the light curve of the supernova. It is calculated that the radius of supernova KSN 2011d is about 411.4 solar radii.
