The following questions were asked by SR:

  • Describe the physical mechanism for Type Ia SNe.
    • Follow-up: What sort of white dwarf do I need in order to get a SNe Ia? (E.g. Does it have to be a C-O WD?)
  • What is the typical velocity associated with supernovae ejecta immediately after ejection? With the SN remnant? What causes the latter velocity?


  • Show that r is proportional to t^(2/5) in the Sedov phase of a supernova remnant
