Models are used to explore the outcome of explosive ignition of ONeMg cores, which result from the evolution of stars in a mass range between 8 and 10 solar masses. It is suggested that the physics of the explosive ignition of ONeMg cores may well be a key to such phenomena as SN Ia and SN Ib/c outbursts, or perhaps to a new type of objects. Arguments are presented showing that the thermonuclear supernova production or the “iron” dwarf formation by milder outbursts are possible outcomes of the explosive ignition of ONeMg cores.
