Switching neutrino flavor flipped some dying stars from explosion to collapse in study of 195 simulations
Niels Bohr Institute astrophysicists ran 195 collapsing-star models and found neutrino flavor conversion flips the outcome for stars of 16 to 30 solar masses. The density at which conversion begins is still an input, so the effect on supernova counts is unmeasured.
