A speculated third type of these is caused by carbon detonation and leaves no remnant, and the energies they release are often measured in the unit foe. The emission of nickel-56 is characteristic of the first type of these, which are probably caused by dwarves that have acquired mass in excess of the Chandrasekhar limit. The core of the most common type of these, type II, is comprised of iron-56 because that nuclide has the highest binding energy per nucleon, and thus is the terminus of stellar nucelosynthesis. For 10 points, identify these violent explosions of massive stars.
