Pair-instability supernova

Type of high-energy supernova in very large stars When a star is very massive, the gamma rays produced in its core can become so energetic that some of their energy is drained away into production of particle and antiparticle pairs. The resulting drop in radiation pressure causes the star to partially collapse under its own huge gravity. After this violent collapse, runaway thermonuclear reactions (not shown here) ensue and the star explodes. A pair-instability supernova is a type of supernov...
