carbon detonation supernova model stellar theory A supernova model involving the explosive ignition of carbon in the high-density (10⁸ - 10¹⁰ g cm^-3), electron-degenerate carbon-oxygen core of a 6±2 - 7±2 M_sun star by the formation and propagation of a detonation wave. A carbon-detonation supernova seems to leave no dense remnant and converts its C-O core entirely to iron.
