Scientists have uncovered the long-sought mechanism behind low-field magnetars, showing that supernova fallback material ...
New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise ...
Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still ...
Their work provides crucial insights into the explosion mechanisms of this rare type of supernova and the final evolutionary stages of its progenitor star. This study is published in The ...
What’s more, Webb used its Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument to observe glowing interstellar gas and dust illuminated ...
An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.
If a massive star is spinning very quickly, or it has an exceptionally strong magnetic field, its eventual supernova explosion will be highly collimated and almost jet-like, boosting the amplitude of ...
Pulsars are the remnants of large stars that exploded in a supernova. Check out these 7 stunning pulsar images shared by NASA.
Magnetars are neutron stars with the universe's most powerful magnetic fields ... of the dying star's mass. This explosion is referred to as a core-collapse supernova.
