A Type Ib Supernova is a powerful explosion that occurs when a massive star, having shed its outer hydrogen layer, collapses under its own gravity. This type of supernova is typically the result of a Wolf-Rayet star, which has lost its hydrogen envelope and is primarily composed of helium and heavier elements. During the explosion, the core of the star collapses, leading to a rapid release of energy and the ejection of the star's remaining material into space. Type Ib supernovae are important for understanding stellar evolution and the chemical enrichment of the universe, as they produce and disperse heavy elements like iron and nickel.
