A Query About Books - Specifically Around the Subjects of Supernovae and Stellar Remenants

[RyanJ]

Hi all!

It has been quite a while since I last posted here. Again.
 

I'm currently interested in supernovae and the exotic stellar remnants that are left behind from such events. I'm interested in the physics and science surrounding this subject, it's something that I currently have an interest in and want to learn more about. I'm considering doing a degree in astrophysics as I've found myself with quite a bit more free time recently. I'm brushing up on my physics (it's been a while since I used it).

I have no problem with them being technical and in-depth and would prefer the details as opposed to the popular science explanations, though I'll happily take a look at those too. I've gone through as much YouTube as I can find on the subject, but I find myself wanting for more information about the subjects. I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty with the math and whatnot.

I'd also be interested in any books about the more theoretical stellar remnants, such as quark stars.

If anyone has any suggestions then I would more than welcome them.

Thanks!

You might be interested in "The Invisible Universe" by Matthew Bothwell from 2021. Anything very much older will miss the latest findings and revisions. I don't know of much besides scientific papers about quark stars, theorized but not yet shown to actually exist/have existed.
