NASA’s Roman Space Telescope is set to embark on a deep-sky survey that could capture nearly 100,000 cosmic explosions, ...

It's around 1.6 times the mass of the Sun, Howell and his colleagues believe, at an orbital separation of 4 astronomical ...

Neutrinos are cosmic tricksters, paradoxically hardly there but lethal to stars significantly more massive than the sun.

Fifty experts on nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics met at CERN from 9 to 13 June to discuss how to use extreme environments as precise laboratories for fundamental physics.

"This discovery heralds a broader understanding of the diversity in massive stars' deaths and a need for deeper ...

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

Roman’s deep, time-lapse survey may reveal a hundred thousand stellar cataclysms, from distant Type Ia supernovae to the self ...

In this case, the heavier star in the pair used up its fuel faster and exploded in a supernova, and the leftover core was crushed to form a neutron star. Meanwhile the lighter star aged a bit more ...
