Published recently in the journal Physical Review Letters, one paper proposes making use of a nearby supernova to study dark matter in detail. A supernova is an extremely dramatic event ...
COLUMBUS, Ohio – An international team of researchers has made new observations of an unusual supernova, finding the most metal-poor stellar explosion ever observed. This rare supernova ...
We also see the presence of ionized silicon near peak brightness, which no other type of supernova has. This tells us that Type Ia supernova are not caused by the core collapse of a star, but ...
The evolution of the supernova explosion is still being studied to this day, and what exactly happened from 2009 to 2012 remains a mystery. In a recent paper, published in Astronomy and ...
here’s a glimpse of what to expect in 2037—a very special year for stargazing and astronomy: When the light from a distant object—like a supernova—passes very near to a foreground galaxy ...
