Re: Dawn Before Nova (APOD 17 November 2009)
This statement ...mass will accumulate onto the white dwarf star until it passes its Chandrasekhar limit ...[then it] will explode in a tremendous supernova. is wrong. Triggering Ia events is not that simple but much more interesting. Observations and modeling of these Ia events show that unregulate...
