New research led by Gonzalo Muñoz-Sanchez at the National Observatory of Athens, published in Nature Astronomy, finds that ...

When a star in the nearby galaxy NGC 2146 exploded in late 2024, it barely registered by supernova standards. The blast, ...

A distant supernova, SN 2025mkn, became visible from nine billion light years away after a galaxy’s gravity bent and brightened its light, helping scientists study it in detail.

It's never too late to solve a cold case. A new paper from Syracuse University researchers proposes an explanation for both a mysterious stellar object discovered in the year 2013 and an astronomical ...

Astronomers have captured the first radio waves ever detected from a rare class of exploding star, a discovery that has given them an unprecedented look into the final years of a massive star before ...

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 ...

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 ...

Astronomers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have employed the Lijiang 2.4-m telescope to perform optical ...

Researchers identified a "forbidden range" of black-hole masses more than 45 times the Sun's mass, where stellar-origin black holes are rare. The gap aligns with models in which such stars explode via ...

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.
