Type I supernovae
Abstract
The observations and theory of hydrogen-deficient Type I supernovae are reviewed. Classical Type Ia supernovae are thought to arise in the thermonuclear explosions of degenerate stellar cores, but Types Ib and Ic may result from core collapse in more massive stars. Binary evolutionary schemes for the origin of SN Ia are described. Calculations of theoretical spectra of SN Ia at various stages in their evolution are described in some detail and the importance of SN Ia for nucleosynthesis and for determination of the cosmological distance scale is summarized. SN Ib are characterized by the appearance of helium lines near maximum and emission lines of oxygen and calcium at later epochs. Like SN Ib, SN Ic lack the evidence for Si near maximum that characterizes SN Ia, but they have only weak indications of He. SN Ib and Ic may arise in the hydrogen-denuded cores of massive stars which may have lost their hydrogen envelopes to a binary companion. The possible connection of SN Ib and Ic events to the 'transition' event, SN 1987K, is also discussed. An appendix describes the operation of the supernova atmosphere code used to calculate early-time spectra of SN I.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
