Abstract

Type Ia supernovae are thought to be the outcome of the thermonuclear explosionof a carbon–oxygen white dwarf in a close binary system. In this review we discuss the observational background, the possible progenitors, the mechanisms leading to the instability and the development of the explosion itself aswell as the remaining uncertainties.
