In results presented this week at the 2003 meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Seattle, astrophysicist Greg Aldering and colleagues report that their supernova factory project has ...
The Nearby Supernova Factory, an international collaboration of astronomers and astrophysicists, has announced that SNIFS, the Supernova Integral Field Spectrograph, achieved “first light” during the ...
A nearby supernova in 2023 offered astrophysicists an excellent opportunity to test ideas about how these types of explosions boost particles, called cosmic rays, to near light-speed. But surprisingly ...
The Veil Nebula Supernova Remnant. Credit: NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage Team The most dangerous parts of a supernova explosion are the outputs like X-rays and gamma rays. Even though they only share a ...
Axions are the most likely candidate for enigmatic dark matter that dominates the universe. Astrophysicists are searching for evidence of high-mass axions produced during supernovae. Scientists ...
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope "detected none of the high-energy gamma-ray light" from a nearby supernova. NASA ...
'Supernova discovery machine' James Webb Space Telescope finds most distant star explosion on record
The powerful space telescope uncovered 80 early and distant star explosions in a patch of sky the size of a grain of rice. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
Nearly forty years ago residents of Earth were treated to a rare cosmic sight: an exploding star in our sky that was visible to the naked eye. Called Supernova 1987A (SN 1987A), it was the closest ...
After a hot, compact neutron star forms from the collapsed iron core of a massive star, axions should be produced in immense quantities for about 10 seconds. Some of these axions (a, red dotted line) ...
