Where would you expect to find a core-collapse supernova?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Core-collapse supernovae are associated with massive stars that have depleted their nuclear fuel and collapsed at the end of their lifetime. Therefore, they are most likely to occur near regions of recent star formation where massive stars exist. Option A is incorrect because globular clusters tend to contain older stars with lower masses. Option C is partially correct because some core-collapse supernovae occur in binary star systems, but not all. Option D is incorrect because a black hole does not have a direct impact on a star's ability to undergo a core-collapse supernova.
