This limit marks the mass at which a star can undergo a thermonuclear explosion, creating a Type Ia supernova.

Then, the supernova explosion — one with more power than a thousand trillion trillion nuclear bombs — will detonate.

It is assumed that MC SNR J0519–6902 is a result of a type Ia supernova explosion and the mass of the progenitor star is estimated to be between 1.2 and 4.0 solar masses.

In space, a supernova is the explosion of a star. They result in a brilliant burst of energy and light and can be so luminous that they briefly outshine galaxies. Type 1a supernovae are a special ...

These two stars are on a collision course to explode as a type 1a supernova, appearing 10 times brighter than the moon in the night sky. Type 1a supernovae are a special class of cosmic explosion ...
