Ancient ‘white dwarf’ stars explode and die in more ways than was thought, and observing these violent cosmic deaths could help scientists to discover the invisible ‘dark energy’ that is powering the ...
When a white dwarf exceeds a threshold called the Chandrasekhar limit — about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun — it becomes primed to explode. This type of explosion, known as a type Ia supernova, has ...
This zombie star survived a thermonuclear explosion on a white dwarf, challengi... Pa 30 is a fascinating nebula that emerged from a supernova observed in 1181. At its center lies a remarkable ...
"The diversity of ways that white dwarf stars can blow up is much greater than previously expected." There are a lot of ways for dead stars to blow their tops. Astronomers discovered this ...
