Simulation of turbulent thermonuclear combustion in a Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf (density shown in blue): The subsonic deflagration flame (temperature shown in red/yellow/white) was initiated at the center of the star in a large number of ignition sparks. Due to buoyancy instability, uprising plumes of burning material form and shear flows at their edges generate turbulence that accelerates the flame. The result is adisruption of the star in a thermonuclear supernova explosion. Further details on this model can be found in F. K. Röpke et al., Astrophys. J., 2007, 668: 1132-1139. [Photo credits: F.
