And then there were the "supernova impostors..." I'm not making this up! Are they serious?

The truth is stranger than fiction, and the universe simply refuses to play by astronomers' playbook...

Maybe it's when they are Bosenova?

Seems like scientists are only guessing about lots of stuff, so my guess is that the centre of a star is cooled to near absolute zero, but has a huge charge before letting go.
