The 46 pages that link to Supernova, each with the reason it gives.

• Stellar evolutionBroader topic: For some stars, an explosion ends evolution and disperses material into space.

• Stellar nucleosynthesisRelated: Explosions eject newly synthesized elements into the surrounding interstellar medium.

• Type Ia supernovaNarrower topic: Type Ia events are one physically distinct class of supernova.

• Interstellar dustRelated: Some supernova ejecta form dust, while their shocks can also destroy existing grains.

• Planetary nebulaCompared with: Planetary nebula formation gently expels outer layers rather than destroying the star in an explosion.

• Starburst galaxyBroader topic: Many massive stars formed in a burst soon explode, heating and dispersing its gas.

• Stellar feedbackRelated: Supernovae inject energy, momentum, and newly synthesized elements into the interstellar medium.

• Light curveBroader topic: The rise and decline of its light curve help identify the explosion and estimate its properties.

• Gravitational binding energyRelated: The energy budget must overcome the binding of the star's outer layers and remnant.

• Chinese astronomyRelated: Historical Chinese observations include transient guest stars now identified as supernovae.

• Crab NebulaNarrower topic: The Crab’s formation began with a supernova visible from Earth in 1054.

• Small Magellanic CloudRelated: Supernovae enrich its interstellar gas and drive energetic flows.

• Tidal disruption eventCompared with: Supernovae also brighten galaxies, but their energy comes from stellar explosion rather than black-hole tides.

• Fritz ZwickyNarrower topic: Zwicky helped establish supernovae as a distinct class of astronomical events and developed their study.

• Galactic windRelated: Overlapping supernovae can heat interstellar gas and drive it out of a galaxy.

• KilonovaCompared with: Supernovae usually arise from stellar death, whereas kilonovae follow compact-object mergers.

• Optical astronomyBroader topic: Optical light curves and spectra track supernova explosions and identify their types.

• StarRelated: Some massive stars end in supernovae that disperse newly formed elements.

• Carina NebulaRelated: Past explosions may have contributed to the complex's energetic and turbulent environment.

• AntaresRelated: Antares is expected to end its life in a supernova, though not on a predictable human timescale.

• Cassiopeia ANarrower topic: The explosion created the debris and shock waves now observed as Cassiopeia A.

• Walter BaadeNarrower topic: Baade and Zwicky helped establish supernovae as a distinct class of astronomical event.

• Circumstellar mediumRelated: Its ejecta collide with material lost by the star before the explosion.

• Eagle NebulaRelated: A disputed interpretation of X-ray evidence proposed that a past supernova shock contributed to pillar destruction.

• Eta CarinaeCompared with: Unlike a supernova, the Great Eruption left Eta Carinae’s central system surviving.

• Pulsar planetRelated: The explosion that formed a pulsar would likely destroy any planets that existed around its progenitor.

• Crab PulsarNarrower topic: The explosion that created the Crab Pulsar also launched the nebula around it.

• Palomar ObservatoryNarrower topic: Palomar programs have found supernovae and tracked their changing brightness.

• Arp 220Related: Rapid star formation in Arp 220 produces frequent supernovae that heat and stir its compact gas.

• Messier 81Related: The supernova SN 1993J in M81 became a major target for studying stellar explosions.

• Messier 83Narrower topic: Messier 83’s unusually rich record of supernovae makes it a useful setting for studying stellar deaths.

• Time-domain astronomyBroader topic: Repeated observations trace its changing spectrum and brightness from explosion through decline.

• W. M. Keck ObservatoryBroader topic: Keck spectra help determine the composition and distances of supernovae.

• Stellar astronomyRelated: Supernovae expose late-stage stellar processes and distribute newly formed elements.

• Superluminous supernovaNarrower topic: Superluminous events are an exceptionally bright subset of supernovae.

• Flare starCompared with: A supernova is a destructive stellar explosion, not a recurring atmospheric flare.

• Kepler's SupernovaNarrower topic: Kepler’s event is a well-documented example of this broader class of explosions.

• Local BubbleRelated: Supernovae are the leading explanation for the energy that excavated the cavity.

• PSR B1937+21Related: A supernova produced the neutron star that became PSR B1937+21.

• Super star clusterRelated: Supernovae from cluster members enrich and reshape the surrounding interstellar medium.

• Visible-light astronomyBroader topic: Visible light curves and spectra track supernova evolution and help identify explosion types.

• Computational astrophysicsRelated: Simulations investigate explosion mechanisms that are difficult to observe from within.

• Intergalactic dustRelated: Supernovae produce dust and drive some grains out of galaxies.

• Sculptor GalaxyRelated: Supernovae help heat and accelerate the gas flowing from NGC 253's core.

• Starburst regionBroader topic: Many massive stars die quickly in a burst, stirring and heating its gas.

• Zeta OphiuchiRelated: A supernova in its former binary system likely released the star from its orbit.
