the proposal that type Ia supernovae arise when a white dwarf gains mass from a non-degenerate companion until it nears the Chandrasekhar mass and ignites.

In astrophysics, single degenerate scenario refers to the proposal that type Ia supernovae arise when a white dwarf gains mass from a non-degenerate companion until it nears the Chandrasekhar mass and ignites. This meaning comes from Whelan (1973) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
