Explosions in the sky and explosions on land are literally worlds apart. A supernova and a land mine explosion don't seem ...

Simulation of a Type Ia supernova in which material ejected from the explosion (red) runs into a companion star (blue). This collision adds extra ultraviolet light to the supernova as viewed from ...

The exploding stars known as Type Ia supernovae serve an important role in measuring the universe, and were used to discover the existence of dark energy. They’re bright enough to see across large ...

This is a movie of the explosion of a double white dwarf binary star system. The simulation was published in Nature Astronomy by James Munday and collaborations in LINK. Full credit goes to Dr.

Supernovae are the most spectacular fireworks in the universe. Just one such explosion can briefly outshine the rest of the stars in a galaxy combined. Astronomers have become adept at spotting these ...

The 2-m aperture Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST), which observes at wavelengths ranging from 255 to 1000 nm, is expected to start science operations in 2024. An ultra-deep field observation ...

The University of Chicago’s Center for Astrophysical Thermonuclear Flashes will perform the world’s most advanced simulations of exploding white dwarf stars with an allocation of 2.5 million hours of ...

An international team of astronomers has conducted detailed multicolor photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2022xlp—a type Iax supernova. Results of the observational campaign, published ...

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