In the first study of its kind, researchers at the RIKEN Center for Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences (iTHEMS) in Japan, along ...

In October 1604, astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler spotted a new star in the sky and began tracking it. Over the course of several weeks, the star remained visible in the daytime and ...

Scientists have used machine learning to dramatically speed up the processing time when simulating galaxy evolution coupled with supernova explosion.

"This discovery heralds a broader understanding of the diversity in massive stars' deaths and a need for deeper investigations into the whole landscape of stellar evolution." ...

There’s a chance we could see a white dwarf star explosion this year. T Coronae Borealis, a binary star system and recurrent nova located roughly 3,000 light-years from Earth, is expected to erupt ...

Stars often die with a final burst of beauty. For the first time, astronomers have captured visual proof that a star can ...

A new study of a star undergoing the throes of a supernova death has revealed that bursts of X-radiation known as fast-X-ray ...

Using a combination of telescopes, including the International Gemini Observatory, funded in part by the U.S. National ...

The smoking gun of the creation of lithium in explosions on white dwarf stars may have been found, in a spike of gamma rays ...

Using a combination of telescopes, astronomers have characterized the closest supernova linked to a fast X-ray transient. The ...

Most supernovae result from the dramatic collapse of massive stars, but one important type comes from a more modest origin.

New observations show a star that blew up in two separate bursts, confirming a long-suspected cosmic phenomenon called a ...
