type I supernova supernova A supernova which may be produced by the thermonuclear detonation of a highly degenerate core produced by mass transfer from a companion star.

Tycho's star type I supernova Remnant of a Type I supernova (B Cas), 3-5 kpc distant, which Tycho observed and described in 1572. At its peak it was as bright as Venus and was visible in the daytime, reaching a magnitude of about -4. It is an X-ray source (2U 0022+63). (3C 10)
