Four stars once linked to hypernovae may instead have formed with debris from ordinary supernovae. Models accounting for uneven debris challenge the need for explosions at least 10 times more energetic. doi.org/hcmp7r
Unusual stars may not owe their origins to hypernovae after all
Evidence for hypernovae, theorized to be the most powerful explosions in the universe, has been disputed in two papers by University College London (UCL) researchers.

pretty much at a time when the universe began to calm down. Technically, life as we know it, could have emerged 7 billion years ago already, but back then the universe was much smaller, the catastrophic cosmic events, like hypernovae, happened much more frequently, and those hypernovae have

Sometimes super just isn't enough to describe the power of a collapsing star—so we call them hypernovae! Thought to be from the collapse of a very massive, rapidly rotating star, a hypernova ejects material with about ten times the kinetic energy of a regular supernova.

Mine was hypernovae. The school librarian was concerned enough to call my mom and suggest she provide me "more age appropriate reading material" than the school's reference section. 🤣

Stars once thought to provide evidence of hypernovae may instead owe their unusual chemistry to ordinary supernovae that scatter elements unevenly.

Yep. I stare at my wedding ring sometimes and reflect that the only places the heavier elements are made are in things like hypernovae and neutron star collisions. Being alive is wild when you start to pay attention. Which is why there are those I pity right now. :)

But, the full abundance pattern is not explained by any existing nucleosynthesis models. This death matrix has columns showing models of how stars die and rows of abundance constraints (aka how models die). No column has all checkmarks: we think 3D effects or binarity are needed.
