SN 2002cx is a peculiar type Ia supernova.[6][7][8] It was discovered in May 2002 by a team of researchers from LBL.[2] It behaved differently from normal type Ia supernovae, and differently from several other previously observed peculiar type Ia supernovae including SN 1991T and SN 1991bg.[4][9]
SN 2002cx is now classified as type Iax supernova, which are subluminal and do not result in complete destruction of the progenitor white dwarf.[10]
