1. Carbon detonationCarbon detonation is the violent re-ignition of thermonuclear fusion in a dead star, which produces a Type Ia supernova. A white dwarf undergoes carbon detonation only if it has a normal binary companion which is close enough to the dwarf star to dump sufficient amounts of matter onto the dwarf, expelled during the process of the companion's own late stage evolution.
