Astronomers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have employed the Lijiang 2.4-m telescope to perform optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of a core-collapse Type IIP supernova ...

Core-collapse supernovae denote the violent deaths of massive stars, typically above eight solar masses, triggered when iron core fusion ceases and collapse ensues. The rebound of infalling layers, ...

NASA’s Fermi telescope may have finally uncovered the magnetic powerhouse behind the universe’s brightest supernovae.

An international team analyzed data from NASA's Fermi space telescope and detected gamma rays from a rare and exceptionally ...

“For nearly 20 years, astronomers have searched Fermi data for gamma-ray signals from thousands of supernovae, and while a ...

Astronomers have discovered a strange new signal coming from an exploding star — a “chirp” that speeds up over time, similar to the signals seen when black holes collide. The unusual pattern appeared ...
