No X-rays from SN 2014J
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
In 2014, the supernova SN 2014J erupted in the nearby galaxy M82. While telescopes worldwide observed its brightening, the Chandra X-ray Observatory detected no X-rays. This type Ia supernova, thought to be triggered by a white dwarf accreting matter, challenged predictions about X-ray generation in such events.
