type IA Supernovae have ~the same energy output because of the chandrasekhar limit. can you elaborate on how stellar composition affects TIA output?

- sega_sai 1y agoCurrently we don't even know if type Ia is merger of two WDs, or accretion from a normal star to a WD. Also the light-curve of the Ia SN is determined by the specific decays of various elements (Nickel and so forth). The ratio of those elements will depend on initial abundances. Also even the exact detonation of the WD depends on whether it' carbon-oxygen etc.
