Type Ia supernovae are important for studying distances in the Universe, since they can act as standardizable candles and can be observed over vast intergalactic distances. Since they are so important in measuring distances, astronomers would like to understand the details of how these supernova explode. This article presents a model for a particular kind of type Ia supernova, giving astronomers more insights into its behavior.
