Astronomers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have employed the Lijiang 2.4-m telescope to perform optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of a core-collapse Type IIP supernova ...
When a star in the nearby galaxy NGC 2146 exploded in late 2024, it barely registered by supernova standards. The blast, cataloged as SN 2024abfl, was roughly 100 times fainter than a typical stellar ...
A new JCAP paper promises to reveal supernovae only hours after they explode Supernovae are enormous explosions that mark the final stages of a star’s life. They fall into two broad categories, ...
Supernova destroying planet, illustration. A rocky planet lies in the wake of its star, which has just gone supernova. The explosion shatters the planet. A complete census of massive stars in our part ...
Asymmetric collapse: Simulations of core-collapse supernovae indicate that existing gravitational-wave detectors such as LIGO could spot telltale signs of cosmic distortions known as gravitational ...
