i don't know how accurate that statement i about one kilo-parsec because i asked some guy from NASA and he said that ik pegasi will be about 500 light years away in a few million years and probably won't even explode for a few 100 million years. and he said a supernova farther than 200...

I'm a little confused because on this excerp from http://www.tass-survey.org/richmond/answers/snrisks.txt the author says gamma radiation could be a threat at more than 1 kiloparsec away Gamma-rays from the explosion (much based on words of wisdom from David Palmer - thanks...

the reason i asked is because it says on wikipedia: "What appears as a single star to the naked eye is actually a binary star system, consisting of a white main sequence star of spectral type F5 IV-V, named Procyon A, and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DA, named Procyon B. The...

would star systems such as Procyon or Capella blow up as 1a supernovae?

IK Pegasi (HR 8210) is a binary star system that is ~150 light years from us that is expected to blow up as a 1a supernova in a few million years. I've heard that the minimum safe distance from supernovae is ~30 light years away. I'm not sure if this is true or not. I have three questions...
