Scientific paper

The occurrence of supernovae provides a spectacular way for the death of a star. The end of the life of a star under ordinary circumstances is reached when the material for the nuclear energy-providing processes in a star has been consumed. Gravitational forces, which are not compensated any longer by the thermal energy of the stellar material, determine the final conditions of the star. Depending on the stellar mass white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes are obtained. The validity of certain new hypotheses regarding supernovae explosions and the generation of heavy elements will possibly be determined in the next few years with the aid of extraterrestrial gamma-ray astronomy.
