Neutrinos of different “flavor” quantum states (shown by colors) are entangled through interactions. In dense neutrino environments like core-collapse supernovae, this leads neutrinos of different ...

In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help ...

When massive stars reach the end of their lives, something strange and violent happens deep inside them. As they run out of fuel, their cores begin to collapse under their own weight. But this ...

New observations of a recently exploded star are confirming supercomputer model predictions made at Caltech that the deaths of stellar giants are lopsided affairs in which debris and the stars’ cores ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has found the best evidence yet for emission from a neutron star at the site of a recently observed supernova. The supernova, known as SN 1987A, was a core-collapse ...

It was likely a red supergiant, though there's debate about its nature and the path it followed to exploding as a supernova.

When massive stars reach the end of their lives and explode in a supernova, they can leave behind huge structures in space called supernova remnants. These are often favorite targets of astronomers ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has observed the best evidence yet for emission from a neutron star at the site of a well-known and recently-observed supernova known as SN 1987A. At left is a NIRCam ...
