Astronomers studying a distant superluminous supernova uncovered a strange pattern hidden in its light: a rapidly ...
The discovery of a newborn magnetar inside a distant supernova helps explain why some stellar explosions shine far brighter ...
For decades, astronomers have used distant supernovae as cosmic lighthouses to test fundamental physics and to measure the universe. For Joseph Farah, a fifth-year graduate student at UC Santa Barbara ...
The ‘guest star’ of 185 AD has been one of astronomy's most unresolved cases for over 1800 years. Ancient Chinese chroniclers ...
Astronomers have discovered a strange new signal coming from an exploding star — a “chirp” that speeds up over time, similar to the signals seen when black holes collide. The unusual pattern appeared ...
A UC Santa Barbara graduate student alongside a local nonprofit research group have advanced the frontiers of physics while ...
Researchers say the "powerful engine" behind superluminous exploding stars had been hidden for years — until a "chirp" from the cosmos helped confirm their link.
