Astronomers have studied 3,600 supernovas to discover diversity in exploding white dwarf stars, a vital tool in the ...

"The sheer amount of radiated energy from these bursts is so large that you can't power them with a core collapse stellar ...

Dark matter, if it exists, is probably in the latter category. If hypothetical weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are real, their collisions with regular matter may have left fossil traces ...

What can imaging supernovae (plural for supernova) explosions teach astronomers about their behavior and physical characteristics? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to ...

Astronomers have captured the clearest-ever close-up images of two exploding stars, events known as novae, within days of their eruption. These detailed images show that such explosions are far more ...
