Supernova Taxonomy The observational classes are in sharp-cornered boxes. Theoretical interpretations (i.e. possible progenitors) are listed in the boxes with rounded corners. Examples are listed underneath the observational classes. It should be noted that SN 1987A had a fairly odd behavior (for...Nice brief introduction to Supernovae including information on the SunSEARCH program and how to find supernovae.

Supernova One of the most energetic explosive events known is a supernova. These occur at the end of a star's lifetime, when its nuclear fuel is exhausted and it is no longer supported by the release of nuclear energy. If the...Current statistics of search at University of Iowa, movies of observed SNe. The rates in Sdm-Sm and Irr galaxies seem to be higher even than in late type Sbc-Sd galaxies.
