We describe a new thermonuclear explosion model for Type I (or Type II) supernovae whereby relativistic terms enhance the self gravity of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf (or redgiant core) as it passes or orbits near a black hole. This relativistic compression can cause the central density to exceed the
We present an analysis of archival X-ray observations of the Type IIL supernova SN 1979C. We find that its X-ray luminosity is remarkably constant at (6.5 ยฑ 0.1) ร 10 38 erg s ร1 over a period of 12 years between 1995 and 2007. The high and steady luminosity is considered as possible evidence for a
