Neutrinos are cosmic tricksters, paradoxically hardly there but lethal to stars significantly more massive than the sun.

Astronomers have traced a mysterious blast of X-rays to a star that, like a cosmic action hero, just refused to die.

In the core-collapse supernova type, the beginning of the supernova is marked by when the core of the star starts fusing silicon into iron. Usually, ...

Neutrinos are cosmic tricksters, paradoxically hardly there but lethal to stars significantly more massive than the sun.

A new study of a star undergoing the throes of a supernova death has revealed that bursts of X-radiation known as fast-X-ray ...

All the latest science news on core-collapse supernovae from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Because the supernova "family tree" was laid out according to the light from supernovae, not their cause, there's technically also a type Ib and Ic, but since their actual cause is core collapse ...

That’s why both type Ib and type Ic supernovae are commonly referred to as stripped core-collapse supernovae. The spectra of type Ic supernovae not only lacks hydrogen, but it also lacks helium.

When this star died, it created a kind of supernova called a core collapse, or Type II, in which the heart of the star runs out of fuel, causing it to collapse suddenly and violently.

Astronomers suspected there might be a link between SN185 and the remnant structure dubbed RCW 86, but for a long time, they assumed the event that formed RCW 86 had been a core-collapse supernova ...

The radiation and particles emitted from a core-collapse supernova will simply, and easily, rip you to shreds if you’re within 100 light years away. Evil Twins.
