Learn about the explosions that often occur at the end of a white dwarf star's life, allowing scientists to study the acceleration of the universe.

A unique dataset of Type Ia Supernovae being released today could change how cosmologists measure the expansion history of the Universe.

Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still produce bursts.

The Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, is revealed in an unusual light in this exceptionally deep Chandra X-ray ...

It’s neither fast nor food, but a spectacular object called HH 30 looks appetizing for astronomers in a new image from the ...

Astrophysicists have unearthed a surprising diversity in the ways in which white dwarf stars explode in deep space after ...

Three and a half kilometres beneath the Mediterranean Sea, around 80km off the coast of Sicily, lies half of a very unusual ...

The most violently explosive events in the universe -- such as a star going supernova, two neutron stars smashing into each ...

Neutron stars are the remains of massive supernova explosions, packing more than the mass of our Sun into a space barely the ...

Scientists have uncovered the long-sought mechanism behind low-field magnetars, showing that supernova fallback material ...

New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise ...

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.
