We have not observed any Supernovae in our galaxy
in over 300 years. Tycho Brahe wrote in De Stella
Nova in 1573 about the supernovae that appeared in
1572: "...it was brighter than any other fixed star,
including Sirius and Vega. It was even brighter than
Jupiter and maintained approximately its luminosity
for almost the whole of November. On a clear day it
could be seen ... even at noon."
The list below (with one exception) shows some of the
major bright supernovae discovered in external
galaxies. The diagram a page or so below shows
some of the remnants of supernovae that have been
discovered in our own galaxy. Many of these
remnants are listed in the sections on Radio and x-ray
sources. Supernovae remnants are often strong
emitters of energy in the radio and x-ray frequencies
Supernovae release gravitational energy in several
forms. There is the radiant energy emitted in the early
phases of the explosion. The matter simultaneously
ejected carries away translational kinetic energy. The
neutron star that survives is endowed with an
enormous amount of rotational kinetic energy. As
mentioned, it is believed that Type l supernovae are
members of double-star systems. Their early
evolution is similar to that of a single massive star.
When they reach the white-dwarf stage, however,
matter is transferred suddenly from the companion
