The mechanism of Supernova Ia explosion in elliptical galaxies
Abstract
Recent observational data on the type Ia supernova rates are in excellent agreement with the old prediction of the population synthesis of binary stars and confirm that the overwhelming majority of type Ia supernovas (~99%) in elliptical galaxies form via mergers of binary white dwarfs with the total mass exceeding the Chandrasekhar limit.
