repeated pair-instability pulses in massive stars that eject shells without destroying the star, proposed to power some superluminous supernovae.

In astrophysics, pulsational pair instability refers to repeated pair-instability pulses in massive stars that eject shells without destroying the star, proposed to power some superluminous supernovae. This meaning comes from Woosley (2007) in Nature.[1]
