The abundance of elements heavier than iron is largely due to nucleosynthesis during these events. These events are classified based on their emission spectra and light curves. The Type I kind occurs when a white dwarf exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit, while Type II kinds of these occur when a massive star starts to collapse.  A famous one happened in 1054 C.E. and resulted in the formation of the Crab nebula.  Neutron stars and black holes often result from these events. For 10 points, name thes
