New Findings Show Some Type Ia Supernovae Linked to Novae


In the August 24 issue of the journal Science, astronomers for the first time show at least some that thermonuclear (Type Ia) supernovae eats from a regular nova. The results of the study, led by Ben Dilday, a postdoctoral researcher in physics at UC Santa Barbara and at Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network (LCOGT), are surprising because earlier indirect - but strong - evidence had pointed to the merger of two white dwarf stars as the Originators of Type Ia supernovae other.
