After 48 years of knowing about them, i FINALLY understand exactly how a "standard candle" type 1a supernova works: white dwarf + just enough mass to tip it over the edge = supernova of very similar luminosity every time. I feel incredibly stupid, but also indebted to TWAP (The Wonderful Anton Person) for explaining it so clearly and succinctly.
Just something to think about... The nebula we're talking about is "due" to go supernova within 1,000 years. BUT, it's 3,200 light years away. So, if our predictive models are correct, IT'S ALREADY GONE SUPERNOVA. If we had mega warp-speed (like, maybe 100x or more of the speed of light) we might be able to test that hypothesis. Until then...
Anton, you are really good and you are working your tail off too. You catch so many important happenings and explain them that maybe you are all I need to be up to date? Subscribed and thanks!
Thank you for your videos Anton. The information is always very interesting, but you also present in a very engaging way also. Very well done and informative. Excellent work!
Hi Anton, u have ur own universe, which helps me to re imagine the space to whole new different level, by just watching ur videos, thank u for making such videos, and moreover thank u for making us understand the complexity of universe in such simple way
3:57 My thoughts: 1) HeHeHe, it's burning Carbon? C what i did there? 2) Super Critical White Dwarf looks like a Lily. Nice name btw. 3) Good God, it's exceeding it's limits! Can't hold that form for long!
Have you heard anything about the explosion in Switzerland that destroyed two buildings? They still do not know what generated it, but because of the characteristics it is the same as the Russian meteor event in 2013.
Rare event becomes unusual meaning not as usual as the normal rare event meaning it doesn't happen often also known as rare. So this is an extremely rare event to the 8th degree. God I love what the math. Just the ticket before bed time.
@Anton Petrov Anton, you never fail to deliver, my Friend. If you aren't rich & famous in my lifetime, I'm gonna be pissed. In all the time I've watched you, I haven't a single complaint! And that, Sir, is very rare! Keep up the great work, and thanks again.
@@SmithnWesson indeed! But it is a type of Neutron star. Not all neutron stars are magnetars, but all magnetars are neutron stars yea? I'd want to see how the magnetic lines interact with each other. Would flares come from those interactions prior to collision?
If a Type 1A supernova is a standard candle and it is so because the mass is assumed to always be the same when it pops then the collision of two white dwarfs could result in a total mass nearly twice the mass of a standard Type 1A. I do hope LIGO can sort this out.
Dude, could you do a video on the @home distributed computing projects? I'm considering to join one of those, as I have a GTX1070 that hasn't seen much action since I got a full time job. I'd really appreciate if you could explain this stuff, you tend to make me understand stuff that I wouldn't otherwise.
Hello Anton, I have a question: what would happen to a white dwarf that stays below the Chandra zakra limit, and i wonder will the white dwarf stablize, or will it eventually explode?
Sirius B is eventually going to be destroyed in a Type 1A supernova when Sirius A enters its red-giant phase and Sirius B sucks hydrogen from its' outer layers as it expands.
I had to go to Wikipedia and look up the carbon burning process to see what elements it makes when it does that. Apparently existing oxygen somewhat survives, neon, sodium, and magnesium. Curiosity satisfied for once. Thanks Anton and Wikipedia.
Would they "collide"? Wouldn't the center of mass of the combined bodies draw material from both stars relatively slowly and they'd merge instead of "collide"? I'm speaking out of ignorance and want to understand.
Nice try The progenitors for type 1a supernova are polar white dwarfs. AN Ursae Majoris will prove that. The chandrasekhar limit does not trigger anything. It is merely the minimum net mass needed to create a pulsar. The Holiday Limit is double that amount. It is the minimum net mass needed to create a black/white hole. Pulsars and black holes are created in core collapse events. White dwarfs have nothing to do with those. Still, I like this guy. He means well.
Why do we think everything explodes like a piece of dynamite? Why can't two bodies simply bump into each other? Take two marbles and roll them into each other. Sometimes they bump and sometimes they just chill next to each other.
@Anton Petrov lmao @ Neil DT...he's too chunky! Anton has bulging muscles, like Russian Bear and Canadian Moose! And with a brain so big, he will NEVER get wrinkles on his face! PS- I am a straight male, but I'd do Anton, just so I could brag to my Friends!!! LoLz, I hope you read this and have a good chuckle, Mr. Petrov! Peace, from Alberta, Canada.
Excellent video Anton. Particularly interesting. I said this recently. but its another step forward in our understanding of stellar evolution. Certainly helps to further our understanding of the relationship between stellar mass and the eventual fate of stars. Thank you Anton for all your hard work to bring us space news every day. 👍👍👍
One collision that can happen(but it’s incredibly rare) is a collision between two wolf Rayet stars, and this collision is almost similar to the white dwarf collision, Almost? Because wolf Rayet stars are more massive(and powerful) than white dwarfs, and this can produce an average of 200 times more powerful than the sun does in its life time.
Curious what happens when two suns collide....OR what happens when a Sun and a white dwarf slam together? Of even more a red giant and a white dwarf hit?? Literally there are other "Ideas" I can see in my mind like this!!!
NASA said We are going to moon again in 2023 years. Today 50 Anniversary in 1969 years. Long time now for moon landing. We have other earthquake once again. 5.0 Magnitude near Mt St Helen Volcano 🌋 Washington Usa 🇺🇸
Extremely rare event? and we have actually, really, really witnessed it?? Little Anton, wonderful person, how long have we been looking at (A)? how old is this Universe (B)? what is the ratio between A and B ? How much of this universe have we observed? How can you say that with such Russian authority ???
I thought that magnitars had to have a exepionaly large magnetic field more so then other nuetron stars and that was basically the only thing that was different
The spiraling white dwarfs must have had tons of angular momentum. If this thing does collapse to a neutron star it'll be a millisecond pulsar for sure (probably spinning ~500 times a second).
When I hear you say that something is near it's lifetime end, I'm thinking three years tops, than you bust out with one thousand years...That's not the definition of "Near" to me. Yes, I get,the ratio...compared to the time it has been around it's consider near...
weird dwarf stars. guess this could be classified as a super white dwarf? or a carbon star? wonder if this can dead end into a silicon star and fail to reach critical mass to collapse into a momentary iron star which becomes a neutron star after degeneracy
I think we will see many things scientists can explain sooner then expected... Love you brother! Thank you Jesus for the awesome mind of my brother. 🤓🔥🌱🌳🕊
carbon most certainly reacts, any star massive enough will fuse carbon, the process is well known, carbon isnt even the final element a star can fuse, the most massive stars will create iron in their core, wich itself cannot be fused unless the core colapses in on itself, only stars similar to owr own sun cannot fuse carbon, as they are not massive enough.
I don't think you will have to worry about jets here, in supernovae those are thought to be emitted alongside a collapsing stars axis if it's core collapses into a black hole and begins accreting the remaining in-falling material. This is already a compact object that has already lost any outer layers which could in principal have been accreted and even if it could consume an abundant supply of mater it is below the critical threshold to collapse into a black hole in the first place.
Anton, you're the real wonderful person.

Love you anton ur videos are the best #1.
I can't imagine a star not running on fusion. The more I know the more questions arise. Thanks Antoine! 😆
It is fusion... carbon fusion
Think they were referring to white dwarfs. Fusion has ceased though, so it's not really a star anymore

Wonderful white dwarf collision
I want to see a double magnetar collision. Can you make that happen in the simulator I wonder?
A magnetar is a neutron star, and he did show several of those collisions.

If two trains collided at high speeds could you call the resulting explosion a _"Choo-Choo-pernova"_ ?
That scenario freightens me!
