Volume rendering of the entropy in a full 3-D GRMHD simulation of a differentially rotating and highly magnetized progenitor to a supernova. Red colors indicate high entropy (hot) material while ...

This is a movie of the explosion of a double white dwarf binary star system. The simulation was published in Nature Astronomy by James Munday and collaborations in LINK. Full credit goes to Dr ...

Their supernova simulation raised other questions because its cosmic rays likely bombarded Earth with enough intensity to ...

"Thanks to the high resolution of our new images, we detected a faint structure on the northeast side of this supernova remnant that had not been observed before." The Hubble Space Telescope may ...

After converging, the binary star system will explode into a Type 1a supernova. Scientists have long predicted that two orbiting white dwarf stars are responsible for creating Type 1a supernovas ...

In the year 1181 (the supernova's namesake), humankind was ... who was part of the amazing 3D simulation. The phenomenon of a zombie star has fascinated astronomers for decades.

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and Parkes 64-m telescope, an international team of astronomers has performed a radio continuum study of MC SNR J0519–6902—a supernova ...

The supernova remnant in question is MC SNR J0519–6902, first discovered in 1981. This wreckage has a ring-like structure that is around 26 light-years in diameter — that's wide enough to fit ...
