a stellar explosion in a very massive core where electron-positron pair production softens the pressure, triggers collapse and runaway oxygen burning, and disrupts the star.

In astrophysics, pair-instability supernova refers to a stellar explosion in a very massive core where electron-positron pair production softens the pressure, triggers collapse and runaway oxygen burning, and disrupts the star. This meaning comes from Barkat (1967) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
