T Pyxidis Supernova: Energy Release Compared to SN1054

[mheslep]

I see from this http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2795981/Supernova-may-wipe-out-the-Earth.html" was day light visible and was 6300 ly away. Assuming the explosions have similar energies, we should receive, what, 4X the energy on Earth from a T Pyxidis explosion? What is the likely energy release from a T Pyxidis super nova, as compared to SN1054?

You make a good comment. How about merging this discussion in with the other thread?

Of course, apologies for missing your earlier thread.
