An international team of astronomers have created the longest consistent 3D model of a neutrino-driven supernova explosion to date, helping scientists to better understand the violent deaths of ...

In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly magnetized rapidly rotating, light-emitting neutron star) and a so-called ...

Stars with masses between 10 and 30 times that of the sun, in their final evolutionary stages, form an iron core that ultimately collapses into a neutron star. This collapse releases a tremendous ...

The University of Chicago’s Center for Astrophysical Thermonuclear Flashes will perform the world’s most advanced simulations of exploding white dwarf stars with an allocation of 2.5 million hours of ...

Two stars that once lived together in the Jellyfish Nebula may have also died together.
