T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), also known as the Blaze Star, is a binary star system located 3,000 light-years from Earth. It ...

We know that regular supernovas pose no existential threat to life on Earth in the near-term. But there are other varieties ...

The nearby T Coronae Borealis system could still explode any day now, but calculations suggest the next best chance for fireworks is later this year.

This can trigger a supernova in two ways. Firstly, the collision itself can create a larger white dwarf and a type Ia supernova. Alternatively, the stellar remnant this creates can birth a ...

A type Ia supernova occurs when a white dwarf draws hydrogen from a companion. But Sirius A and B are too widely separated ...

A star called T Corona Borealis may "go nova" next week, making the star briefly visible to the naked eye. It last happened ...

Researchers conducted the first-ever near-infrared analysis of an extragalactic recurrent nova and found it is one of the ...

The findings reveal unusual chemical signatures and offer new insights into the behavior of novas beyond the Milky Way.

Astronomers have identified the source of strange radio flashes: a binary system containing a white dwarf, the remnant of a ...

Notably, these two types of stars have different origins: a neutron star is formed when a massive star undergoes a supernova explosion, while a white dwarf emerges when a star with a low to medium ...

These supernovae, resulting from white dwarf stars in binary systems, will be studied in detail to provide crucial data on the universe’s acceleratin... A recent study suggests that supernova ...
