It’s hypothesised that some white dwarves, when raised in mass above the Chandrasekhar limit, will instead of producing a type 1A supernova, will instead collapse into a Neutron star. What would this look like? How bright would it be? How strong would the Neutrino flux be? Could you end up with a neutron star lighter then is lower possible limit for neutron stars produced by type II supernovae.
