Description

An extensive study of the shock-explosive mechanism for generating type II supernovae is made. The nuclear high-density equation of state plays an important role, moderate softening of the equation of state leading to a considerable increase in shock strength. A definition of shock energy which can be used throughout the life of the shock is introduced. (orig.)
