The progenitor systems of normal type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) remain a central puzzle. The long-debated single-degenerate (SD) channel, where a white dwarf (WD) accretes mass from a companion, faces major observational conflicts. The unknown rising form the carbon ignition and detonation mechanism in sub-Chandrasekhar mass led us to run 3D hydrodynamic simulations that address these tensions by...
