- According to Imshennik & Khokhlov (1984), at densities lower than about
the timescale for NSE formation becomes so large that the flame
width would be bigger than the extent of the whole core. Since it
can be assumed that NSE is no longer reached even before the flame
width gets close to the extension of the core, 3
instead of
is used as the transition density.

- Correctly, one would have to use burning and flow velocities on either the burnt or the unburnt side of the flame to
update G due to burning and advection.

- We neglect here that over-driven detonations
powered by shock waves entering the core due to the He shell
detonation could also play a role.

Table 1 only the results for a mixture of equal mass
fractions of C and O are shown. In their work
Niemeyer & Woosley (1997) additionally investigated the
dependence on the mass fraction.
