Question: What determines how much closer particles need to be for neutron degeneracy?
Answer: Ratio of neutron to electron masses
Question: What conditions are necessary for neutrinos to transfer heat effectively?
Fig from Fryer et al 2002: Isosurface of material with radial velocities of 1000 km s-1 for models A, B, and C. The isosurface outlines the outward moving convective bubbles. The open spaces mark the downflows.
Figure of velocity flows: Slice of supernova model, colored by its entropy and showing velocity vectors. The cold, low-entropy material flows downward as the high-entropy material bubbles upward.
