If the neutrinos cannot emerge fast enough to heat an explosion, the supernova is likely to fizzle and the newly-birthed neutron star will collapse into a black hole, Dr. Burrows said. In the case ...

It could be the youngest neutron star ever seen. Evidence of a neutron star hidden deep inside Supernova 1987A is helping astronomers solve a 33-year-old mystery surrounding one of the brightest ...

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

Even if the presence of a neutron star or black hole in this supernova wreckage can be confirmed, the SN 2022jli system is still unique.

“There is no other object like the neutron star in Supernova 1987A, so close to us and having formed so recently. Because the material surrounding it is expanding, we will see more of it as time ...

Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...

“From theoretical models of SN 1987A, the 10-second burst of neutrinos observed just before the supernova implied that a neutron star or black hole was formed in the explosion.

An unusual star system created more of a fizz and less of a bang when it exploded in a supernova. The “ultra-stripped” supernova led researchers to discover the two stars 11,000 light-years ...
