This is particularly true for one particular kind of supernova known as Type Ia. An overview of the different proposed Type Ia supernova progenitors has been published on the arXiv preprint server.

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia ... can affect the characteristics of the explosion and the resulting brightness of the supernova[1][2]. The findings suggest that while the deflagration scenario ...

SN 2024PI is special because it's classified as a Type Ia supernova. A white dwarf, which is an incredibly dense, small "dead" star (about the size of a planet), must exist before this special ...

so the supernova is seen here many times fainter than its maximum brilliance. SN 2024PI is classified as a Type Ia supernova. This type of supernova requires a remarkable object called a white ...
