Oasis song

edit

Was this named after that 1995 Oasis song? -Rolypolyman 18:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Consistency

edit

Why is the article called Champagne Supernova but the article refers to the event by the other name? Jamie|C 14:04, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Intro and organistion

edit

This article needs cleaning up, particuarly it needs a non-technical intro and it needs reorganising to be logical. As an example it currently mentions that the mass of it progenitor (whatever that is) is unusual, and gives a figure for what is normal but doesn't give you any detail on this event's figures until much later.

I get the impression most of the information is in the article, somwhere, but it just needs structure and logical organisation. Thryduulf 01:53, 17 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Naming Convention

edit

The title's needlessly confusing and misleading. Astronomer's do not refer to this supernova as the "champagne supernova" -- that is a nickname, used in the title of a news-and-views article. The article should be titled SNLS-03d3bb or SN 2003fg (which conforms to the IAU designation convention used for other articles on particular supernovae).

I agree, the section of Nature this title comes from is a summary for non-Astronomers. The name used in academic papers is either SN2003fg or SNLS-03d3bb, of which the former is probably a better choice for this article name as it conforms to the naming convention set by other supernovae (SN 1987A for example). Further, this will avoid a confusion with the song. --Falcorian (talk) 00:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
Because no one has opposed the move over a few months, nor again when I sent people some messages, I've moved it. --Falcorian (talk) 01:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

POV Flag

edit

The neutrality of the article is dubious at best. Sentences like "It may potentially revolutionize thinking about the physics of supernovae" sound very point-of-view and they should be reworked into more neutral wording. I, however, have no idea how to rephrase them. CielProfond (talk) 23:33, 22 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Why not use something along the lines of "The supernova defies the Chandrasekhar Limit, provoking speculation as to the authenticity of the supernovae theory." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Astroch3mist (talkcontribs) 02:46, 21 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Astroch3mist's sentence is also more informative to people such as myself, who are not entirely versed in the subject.96.53.24.86 (talk) 01:40, 11 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Researchers from Toronto?

edit

Who were the "researchers from the University of Toronto"? Can the original documents announcing this discovery please be added to the references?

Added a ref. See Howell et al. --Falcorian (talk) 13:39, 9 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
