“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 ...
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.
Image shows evidence for a neutron star following a stellar explosion called Supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy neighboring our Milky Way, in this handout combination of ...

Gamma rays emerging from neutron stars at the hearts of supernova explosions could solve the mystery of dark matter — in just 10 seconds. That is, if dark matter is composed of axions, ...
Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...
Astronomers have taken the first ever image that shows what happens when a star explodes twice in a supernova.
Neutrinos are cosmic tricksters, paradoxically hardly there but lethal to stars significantly more massive than the sun.
Fifty experts on nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics met at CERN from 9 to 13 June to discuss how to use ...
