(a) – 5 pts What is the observational difference between Type I and Type II supernovae? What physically happens during the Type Ia supernova? Why Type Ia supernovae are so important? What is core-collapsed supernova? Can it be Type Ia?
(b) – 5 pts What is called pulsar-wind nebula (PWN)? Describe qualitatively the multiwavelength radiation from PWN. What radiation mechanisms are involved? What energies of particles follow from observational data? What particles produce the observed radiation? How can the particle energies be estimated from observational data?
