ahh i've heard of them, its when white dwarfs gain enough mass to become supernova and they explode. there is also another type on new supernova called pair instability supernova. this happens when a star hundreds of solar masses photons get disintegrated into electrons and positrons. this robs the core of some of its outward pressure causing it to collapse the energy of the rebound vaporises the star, core and all.
