SN 1994D was a Type Ia supernova event in the outskirts of galaxy NGC 4526. It was offset by Script error: No such module "val". west and Script error: No such module "val". south of the galaxy center and positioned near a prominent dust lane.[2] It was caused by the explosion of a white dwarf star composed of carbon and oxygen.[3] This event was discovered on March 7, 1994 by R. R. Treffers and associates using the automated 30-inch telescope at Leuschner Observatory.[4] It reached peak visual brightness, magnitude 11.9, two weeks later on March 22.[3][1] Modelling of the light curve indicates the explosion would have been visible around March 3-4. A possible detection of helium in the spectrum was made by W. P. S. Meikle and associates in 1996.[2] A mass of 0.014 to Script error: No such module "val". in helium would be needed to produce this feature.[5]
