neutron stars; types of stars [novae].
* Type Ia: From white dwarves in binary
systems that accrete matter from their companion and reach the Chandrasekhar mass limit;
They all release nearly equal amounts of energy, and are used as standard candles to
determine distances to galaxies, precise to within an error of 7%.
* Type II, Ib and Ic: From the core collapse
of massive stars; In our galaxy, they usually occur in the spiral arms; 2010, Type II-P
supernovae are starting to be used as standard candles.
* Consequences: Within a galaxy, they are
important events for the chemical composition of the interstellar medium, they produce
galactic fountains, and they can trigger star formation; Outside their galaxy some of
them act as standard candles.
* Conditions: Their occurrence is favored
in stars with high heavy element content, which are opaque to radiation.

* Historical, galactic: The only recorded ones
in our galaxy were in AD 185, 386 & 393 (Chinese records), 1006, 1054 (the "guest
star" in Taurus, several times as bright as Venus, visible in the daytime for at least
23 days, that produced the Crab Nebula), 1181, 1572 (Tycho's SN in Cassiopeia), and 1604
(Kepler's SN in Ophiuchus); A less noticeable one occurred in 1667 or 1680, and its remnant
is Cassiopeia A; The easily visible ones seem to be about 1/century, and the total 4 or so
per century.
* Historical, extragalactic: The first one
actually seen exploding was in 1983 [@ Niemela et al AJ(85)]; The
first recent one close by on 23.02.1987, in LMC [SN 1987A; @ NS(90)feb24,
p30-31]; 1998, Most distant one seen at z = 0.97; Many at cosmological distances have been
seen since.
* Older nearby supernovae: Recent results
(1999–2016) have confirmed at least two main supernova events at distances around
100 pc, one 1.7–3.2 Myr ago and one 6.5–8.7 Myr ago.
