Abstract

After the first suggestion by Schatzman (1963) that accreting white dwarfs, close to the limiting mass, might be the progenitors of type I Supernovae, the problem was not studied until Schatzman (19 74) described the competition between collapse dominated by beta decay, which would lead to neutron star formation and collapse dominated by nuclear reactions leading to stellar disruption.
