Re: Supernova as the cause of K-T extinction

Please note that these papers are from 1970 and 1972. No, they absolutely did not pan out. Not hypotheses in play.

Good day,

this is very interesting study. Does anyone know, what is the current
astronomical meaning about this interstellar ring, implying a giant
explosion 65 million years ago? If the dating is correct, then we
probably have a hot candidate for the K-T extinction event... Thank
you, Tom


So it seems that Hughes and Rutledge are simply agreeing with the
original Russell & Tucker (1970) paper.

Although they are adding that it was possibly a chain reaction of
supernovae (a la the core explosion of Niven's "Known Space"
setting) rather than a single supernova.

does anyone happen to have an astronomical paper of V. A. Hughes

and D.

Rutledge speculating about the supposed dinosaur-killing

supernova?

Partial citation is "Astronomical Journal, v.77, pp.210-214

(April

1972)", but I couldn't find the original name of the article.

Thank you, in advance.
