Hamuy et al., 2000 Ivanov et al. 2000 Do Supernovae change with z ?? Hints... • SN Ia rate is smaller in Ellipticals Cappellaro et al. 1997 • SN Ia LCs Slower (brighter) in Bluer Galaxies • Hamuy et al. , 1995, 1996 • Branch et al. 1996 Back in time>>Progenitors Younger & more metal-poor
The conceptually simplest model for a thermonuclear supernova is just an analog of a runaway chemical reaction that become explosive : a conventional bomb. …… bombs often fail. Similarly, most models for astrophysical bombs (Sne Ia) often fail. …… Further, astrophysical bombs must occur naturally and at the correct rate: there must be a convincing astronomical context.

Our main results for SNe Ia: Up toMMAX =0.2 mag C/O WDs due todifferent MMS correlated withvph & trise No dependence of MMAX with initial Z • Open Problems: • Progenitors ?? Accretion, Rotation. • Propagation of the burning front (1D/3D) ?? Transition density • How stellar populations evolve with z ??
