Jan 22, 2020 · Type Ia supernova are used as standard candles. But they also are transient events. This means that to determine the distance of a galaxy using supernovae, you have to …

Jul 18, 2021 · 6 What is the difference between Supernova Type Ia and Nova? Base on a web search, they seem to have a similar formation process, as they are both white dwarfs in a …

There is one type (called type Ia) for which this brightening and dimming is very regular: when the maximum brightness at a distance of 1 light-year is calculated (using the known distance and …

The bomb goes off in exactly the same way with the same amount of identical explosive. That means to a good approximation, measuring the apparent brightness of a type Ia supernova …

Jan 30, 2025 · No, the white dwarf (or dwarfs, in the case of a double-degenerate supernova) is completely destroyed: With Type Ia supernovas, the exploding stars are completely destroyed. …

Jan 25, 2022 · Question. If only <20% of Type Ia SNe are single-degenerate and have a fixed luminosity, then how can we use them as standard candles at all? I get the impression from …

Apr 26, 2024 · I understand that the mass limit for a white dwarf is 1.4 solar masses, and therefore approaching it would cause a white dwarf (type Ia) supernova, and thus it is a …

May 24, 2025 · The doubt is whether our model for type 1a supernovae is correct. We see some supernovae have significant hydrogen lines in their (redshifted) spectrum, and some don't …
