The article is titled "Hydrodynamics and Nucleosynthesis of Jet-Driven Supernovae II: Comparisons with Abundances of Extremely Metal-Poor Galaxies and Constraints on Supernova Progenitors." ...

Those reactions then produce new atomic nuclei, a process known as nucleosynthesis. When a star goes supernova, the elements forged through this process — as well as those stored within the star's ...

A pair of circling white dwarf stars located on our "cosmic doorstep" are doomed to explode in a rare, quadruple supernova that will shine 10 times brighter than the moon in the night sky ...

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." Out in the universe lie dead stellar remnants ...

This is a supernova explosion. Astronomers aim to understand what types of stars produce different kinds of explosions. Do more massive stars result in brighter explosions? What happens if a star ...

In it, the “behemoth” star appears to puff out gas and dust, a critical final step before exploding in a supernova. The star, known as WOH G64, is 160,000 light-years from Earth in the Large ...
