Pre-explosion Variability

Pre-Explosion Variability is an observational astrophysical phenomenon characterized by detectable fluctuations in the photometric, spectroscopic, or circumstellar properties of a massive star in the months to years immediately preceding its core-collapse or thermonuclear supernova explosion, distinguishing it from stable stellar evolution by signaling late-stage instabilities, mass-loss episodes, or binary interactions directly linked to the progenitor's impending disruption.
