Supernovae represent the dramatic endpoints of stellar evolution, and recent studies have expanded our understanding of the complex interplay between explosion mechanisms and the nature of progenitor ...

Massive stars, those with initial masses exceeding eight times that of the Sun, undergo complex evolutionary processes that ultimately culminate in spectacular supernova explosions. During their ...

Astronomers don’t often get to witness a gigantic star getting undressed. But that is exactly what they witnessed with SN2021yfj, a 2.2-billion-light-year-away stellar explosion whose naked look has ...

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, ...

Massive stars about eight times more massive than the sun explode as supernovae at the end of their lives. The explosions, which leave behind a black hole or a neutron star, are so energetic they can ...

In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help astronomers find a supernova right as it begins. At this very moment, ...
