BERKELEY, Calif., November 6 (UPI) -- An exploding star known as SN2002bj could be a new class of supernova that resulted in a true thermonuclear explosion, a California researcher said.

The star at first seem liked any other that flashes into existence all the time.A closer look, however, revealed unusual spectral details, Dovi Poznanski, a University of California, Berkeley, postdoctoral researcher told The San Francisco Chronicle.

Thanks for posting this questionmark, I have had oproblems getting news pages to open and I seen this in the news but could not view it,

Theres many difdferant kinds of stars out there and some are bound to be oddballs, Good post man,

Another article which seems to be describing the same discovery is here

Washington, November 6 - ANI: Scientists at Berkeley University have discovered a new class of supernova, which may be the first example of a new type of exploding star.

Earlier, a team of astrophysicists at UC (University of California) Santa Barbara had predicted this kind of explosion in their theoretical work.

Lars Bildsten, professor at UCSBs Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP), and colleagues, predicted a new type of supernova in distant galaxies that would be fainter than most and would rise and fall in brightness in only a few weeks.

Just over two years ago, Bildsten was working with collaborators when they realized that the outcome of their calculations predicted an observable explosion never seen in the night sky. --- ...
