Research and Conclusions
On May 19, 2010, a team of astronomers released a report on the discoveries made in their research of SN 2005E. The articles were published in the British journal Nature.[4]
The researchers have determined that the blast emitted a large amount of calcium and titanium, which is evidence of a nuclear reaction involving helium, instead of the carbon and oxygen that is characteristic of Type Ia supernovae.
