A type Ia supernova is thought to be a thermonuclear explosion of either a single carbon-oxygen white dwarf or a pair of merging white dwarfs. The explosion fuses a large amount of radioactive [sup.56]Ni (refs 1-3). After the explosion, the decay chain from [sup.56]Ni to [sup.56]Co to [sup.56]Fe generates y-ray photons, which are reprocessed in the...
