“Gamma-ray bursts and hypernova-which have energies more than 10 times that of supernova-are known to be some of the most energetic and explosive events in the universe, but the detailed explosion mechanism and nature of their progenitors are still unknown," says Yamaguchi.”
“Certain rare stars, type 11 stars, are core-collapse hypernova that generate deadly gamma ray bursts (GRBs).”
“So, we're looking at a pretty "pure case" of massive star formation, fuel burning and some kind of hypernova.”
“Pamela: A hypernova is one of the things that we call the sub-class of supernova that form gamma-ray bursts.”
“Eta Carina could potentially be a hypernova, but its poles aren't pointed toward us.”
“So even if Eta Carina turns out to be the right type of supernova to become a hypernova and a gamma-ray burst, we're okay because it's not pointed at us.”
“They are possibly generated the collapse of a massive star that does not present the characteristics of a supernova or hypernova, or by the merger of two white dwarfs”
