According to scientists, red supergiant stars should produce more supernovas. But astronomers just aren’t spotting them. Here ...
When the first gravitational wave (GW) was detected back in 2015, scientists said they had opened a new window into the Universe. While most of astronomy is based on detecting electromagnetic energy, ...
The brightest cosmic object of its kind ever detected may have helped astronomers solve the mystery of powerful, bright blue cosmic explosions. At the heart of the discovery is a signal from a ...
Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and these signals offer new insights into how massive stars meet their demise.
Artist’s conception of a magnetar surrounded by an accretion disk that is wobbling, or precessing, because of the effects of general relativity. Some models of magnetars suggest that high-speed jets ...
