The Progenitors of Superluminous Type Ia Supernovae
Recent observations of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have discovered a subclass of “super-Chandrasekhar” SNe Ia (SC SNe Ia) whose high luminosities and low ejecta velocities suggest that they originate from the explosions of white dwarfs (WDs) with masses that exceed the Chandrasekhar mass limit.
