Scientific paper

The theory of gaseous detonation is applied to thermonuclear detonation waves in supernovae. First, the two-temperature structure of strong shock waves in a dense degenerate plasma is considered. The ion-electron energy transfer rate is calculated for a plasma with arbitrary degeneracy of electrons. It is shown that the non-equilibrium heating of ions is unimportant for detonation. The steady planar one-dimensional structure of detonation waves both in C + O mixtures and in pure helium He-4 is computed for densities from 10 to the 6th to 3 x 10 to the 9th g/cu cm. The thickness of the detonation waves is obtained as a function of the initial density of the matter.
