This core contracts and becomes degenerate before carbon ignition is ignited, forcing an implosion known as carbon detonation when the temperature reaches 600 MK.

which it cannot be supported by degeneracy pressure. A carbon-oxygen white dwarf that approaches this mass limit, typically by mass transfer from a companion star, may explode as a Type Ia supernova via a process known as carbon detonation.
