Scientific paper

It is supposed that a peculiar supernova of type I (SN Ip) may result from explosive helium burning in small mass (MWD < 1 M_sun;) helium or carbon-oxygen-helium white dwarfs. Incomplete helium burning may explain as well small velocities and lower luminosities of SN Ip. Differences between SN Ip and SN I spectra may be due to particular properties of explosive helium burning.
