Explosions in the sky and explosions on land are literally worlds apart. A supernova and a land mine explosion don't seem ...

The universe is ballooning outward at an ever-faster clip under the power of an unknown force dubbed dark energy. One of the ...

For decades, Type Ia supernovae have been the gold standard for measuring the expansion of the universe. These massive ...

A unique dataset of Type Ia supernovae being released today could change how cosmologists measure the expansion history of the universe. Type Ia supernovae are the dramatic explosions of white ...

This video sparkles with synthetic supernovae from the OpenUniverse project, which simulates observations from NASA's ...

Type Ia supernovae, the explosive deaths of white dwarf stars, have long served as one of cosmology's most powerful tools. These stellar events occur when a white dwarf accretes enough material ...

Astronomers using the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton telescope have made an unexpected discovery—two supernova remnants ...

ABSTRACT A comparative study of spectra of 21 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) obtained about 1 week before maximum light, and 8 spectra obtained 11 or more days before maximum, is presented. To a large ...

This type of explosion, known as a type Ia supernova, has historically been used by astrophysicists to measure distances in the universe, leading them to postulate that the universe is constantly ...

112, No. 776 (October 2000), pp. 1284-1299 (16 pages) ABSTRACT The unexpected faintness of high‐redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), as measured by two teams, has been interpreted as evidence that ...
