BERKELEY, CA — A group of scientists affiliated with the SuperNova Legacy Survey (SNLS) have found startling evidence that there is more than one kind of Type Ia supernova, a class of exploding stars ...

It's the last clearly observed supernova in the Milky Way, Gassel said.

A team of astronomers led by The University of Texas at Austin’s Howie Marion has detected a flash of light from the companion to an exploding star. This is the first time astronomers have witnessed ...

Ironically, to study dark energy — a murky, unknown something that seems to act as an accelerant for our universe’s expansion — astronomers rely on brilliant supernovae. From 2013 to 2019, the Dark ...

“The explosions of white dwarfs play a crucial role in astronomy,” said Priyam Das, a study co-author and PhD student at the University of New South Wales Canberra, Australia. “Yet, despite their ...

For the first time, astronomers have observed radio waves emitted by a Type Ia supernova, a type of explosion originating from a white dwarf star. This provides important clues to understand how white ...

Kepler's supernova remnant is extremely exciting for astronomers – a rare example of a supernova for which we have a clear ...

Type Ia supernovae represent the dramatic thermonuclear explosions of white dwarf stars, typically triggered in binary systems by processes such as accretion from a companion or the merger of two ...
