Abstract
The exact mechanism behind Type Ia supernovae (SNe-Ia) and the nature of the progenitors is poorly understood, although several theories vie for supremacy. Their secured importance to the study of cosmology necessitates a resolution to this problem. Observations of nearby SNe-Ia are therefore critical to determine which theory, if any, is the correct one. SN 2014J discovered at a relatively close 3.5 Mpc in the galaxy M82 provides such an opportunity. In this paper we give specific predictions for SN 2014J in the context of the Quark Nova Ia (QN-Ia) model. Predictions include X-ray luminosities just prior and hundreds of days after the explosion, light curve "glitches", neutrino emission, heavy element creation, and gravitational signatures.
