Type Ic Supernova
A Type Ic Supernova is a powerful explosion that occurs when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity. This type of supernova is characterized by the absence of hydrogen and helium in its spectrum, indicating that the star has shed its outer layers before the explosion.
Type Ic supernovae are often associated with Wolf-Rayet stars, which are massive stars that have lost their outer hydrogen layers. These events are important for understanding the life cycles of stars and the synthesis of heavy elements in the universe.
