Micronova
Explosive stellar phenomenon about one millionth the strength of a classical nova / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A micronova is a putative type of thermonuclear explosion on the surface of a white dwarf much smaller than the strength of a nova; being about 1×1039 ergs (1.0×10−12 foe; 1.0×1032 J) in strength, about a millionth that of a typical nova. The phenomenon was first described in April 2022.[1][2][3]
