systems are composed of two stars that are so close to each other that one star is actually cannibalizing its companion — the gravitational pull of one of the stars is so strong that it literally rips the gas from the atmosphere of its neighbour. Cataclysmic variables, systems composed of white dwarf stars (about the same size as the Earth but extremely dense) that are cannibalizing ordinary stars (such as our Sun), are of particular interest. Dr. Nelson hopes to show that a subclass of these systems is the progenitor of Type Ia supernovae (extremely violent and bright cosmic explosions). Because these supernovae are used extensively by astronomers to determine the distance scale to the farthest reaches of the Universe, the solution to the progenitor problem will have profound implications for our Photo: Perry Beaton understanding of how the Universe has evolved.
