The Chandra X-ray Observatory is the darling of high-energy astrophysics. Famed for providing unequaled x-ray views of ...
Some stars may transform into black holes without exploding into supernovae. Now, astronomers have finally spotted it as it ...
The explosion of the sun is a threat straight out of science ... Supernovae can give birth to black holes and neutron stars, ...
The kilonova briefly mimicked the conditions immediately following the Big Bang, and allowed scientists to confirm the source ...
Massive stars about eight times more massive than the sun explode as supernovae at the end of their lives. The explosions, ...
Such supernovae are called core-collapse supernovae and are extremely rare. One of them occurs approximately every hundred ...
When two neutron stars collide, they produce an immense explosion called a kilonova, a fireball that shines as brightly as ...
Astrophysicists have, for the first time, measured the temperature of elementary particles in the radioactive afterglow of a neutron star collision, which led to the formation of a black hole. This br ...
Astronomers have used a range of telescopes, including Hubble, to watch as particles dance around a neutron star collision ...
A star that winked out of view could be a “failed supernova,” a stellar explosion that petered out instead of fully detonating, a new study reports. If real, the failed supernova would mark the birth ...
Astronomers have found a link between mysterious fast radio bursts and magnetars within massive star-forming galaxies.
