Suggested changes regarding supernovae

Okay, so this page doesn't have supernova impostors, which are violent explosions caused by extreme eruptions of Luminous Blue Variable stars (LBV), which also sometimes experience normal outbursts, where only their temperature changes, but the luminosity stays the same (it increases a lot in the eruptions). Most famous example is the 19th century eta Carinae A Great Eruption, where it became so bright that it became the 2nd brightest star in the night sky after Sirius A. During the eruption, it released the energy of over 10^49 erg (source), which corresponds to attack potency of 4-C.

Luminous Red Novae release 10^49 erg of energy (source), which also corresponds to attack potency 4-C and not high 4-C.

Supernovae per the same paper release 10^51 erg of energy (also the 2023 supernova SN 2023ixf released 1.2 * 10^51 erg of energy per this paper which matches pretty well), which corresponds to high 4-C. However, supernovae range from 5-B (SN 2021fcg) to 4-B (for example SN 1998bw), it depends on the supernova)/

And Quark novae are 10^53 erg so 4-B.

I'll look into novae later.
