The Origins of Calcium-rich Supernovae From Disruptions of CO White Dwarfs by Hybrid He–CO White Dwarfs

Calcium-rich explosions are very faint ( M _B ∼ −15.5), type I supernovae (SNe) showing strong Ca lines, mostly observed in old stellar environments. Several models for such SNe have been explored and debated, but none were able to reproduce consistently the observed properties of Ca-rich SNe, nor t...
