Supernova 2006jc |
Did I miss it or did nobody post about this massive supernova here
yet?
http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/070404_supernova_2006jc.html
It's been picked up by a lot of the popular media, for instance the
Washington Post.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/07/AR2007050700752.html?nav=hcmodule
Apparently the events started in October, 2004, with shedding of a
lot of outer material. Then the star went supernova last year
(hence the 2006 designation). But something unexpected happened
in the last couple of days, which is apparently at odds with a lot
of stellar evolution theory.
I'm looking around for details, but probably readers here already
know a lot more.

So the crackpot theories are fucked, proven by empirical data. <shrug>
It's been that way since Sagnac proved the speed of light is source =
dependent in 1913.
What do you want the sane to do about it, cretin?

I saw one report that mention comparisons with Eta Carinae as I recall.

I have heard it called a Wolf-Rayet class star, which annoyed me
because not everything that sheds material into space is Wolf-Rayet.
I wonder if anyone has had any interesting thoughts about it yet...

I'd like to know more about the "surprises" and what part of
stellar evolution theory is being challenged.

IIRC its to do with its size and energy output - I think I heard a size
projected for it that would seem to be above the Eddington limit - plus its had
an impostor event in the past.

This one? The "picture" all over Media is an artist's guess.
