Type 1a section needing update

[edit]

The paragraph states that supernovae type 1a most commonly occur from a white dwarf pulling matter from a companion star, and that collisions between white dwarves are very rare in comparison. This information is dated from 2012. Recent studies (2019/2020) posit that these collisions are much more frequent than previously believed, and might even comprise the majority of 1a's. I will look for the references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.162.0.42 (talk) 13:38, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"These collisions, which happen once every 10,000 to 100,000 years,..." That certainly means the frequency in our galaxy, so I'll put that in.76.218.104.120 (talk) 04:12, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The source for the fact that all the gold might be created from stellar collision does not say anything about gold — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.81.37.94 (talk) 16:44, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed this as well and made an edit. From what I know, the statement was incorrect anyways. I removed it. 143.165.48.50 (talk) 14:10, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
