A mysterious cosmic explosion has astronomers buzzing, as a strange event may hint at an entirely new kind of stellar ...

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new supernova remnant (SNR) using radio observations. The ...

Astronomers call this "eruptive mass loss," and it's a stellar drama we're still trying to fully grasp.

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, ...

In December 2024, the ATLAS astronomical survey detected a distant flash of light. It was a supernova, the explosive death of a massive star, located far, far away, roughly a billion light-years away.

For more than a decade, a ghostly shell of radio light sat in survey data, too faint and ambiguous to be called anything more ...

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.

A supernova is one of the most powerful events that can happen in the Universe - we are talking, after all, about a star exploding – and because of that, they have always been actively researched by ...

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 ...
