Subject is a kind of has mass has definition

supernova emission line star greater than 0.08 the sun's mass A gigantic stellar explosion in which the star's luminosity suddenly increases by as much as a billion times. Most of the star's substance is blown off, leaving behind, at least in some cases, an extremely dense core which may be a neutron star.
