May 10th: Stellar Death Just Got More Lit!
Remember that new object COW, named for a strange supernova? We’ve seen four more of these Fast Blue Optical Transients, and new research may even have figured out just how and why they occur
Apr 25th: Hubble Discovered A Star Hidden By Companion’s Supernova
Data from the Hubble Space Telescope has determined that the newly discovered companion of a star that went supernova had its outer hydrogen layer siphoned off before the explosion. The results support the theory that massive stars generally form and evolve as binary systems
Apr 20th: A Supernova Coming Back to Life
Baby stars form when thick clouds of gas and dust fall into themselves or collapse due to gravity. Not all of the material collapses to form a baby star.
Apr 7th: Metal-rich Star. Parents Being Sought
A ninth-magnitude star in our neighborhood of the Milky Way has been found to contain 65 different elements, including large proportions of heavier elements like gold. This star required either a supernova or a neutron star merger to form.
Dec 13th: Cosmic Manatee with a Particle Accelerator on its Head
Scientists observing the Manatee Nebula find that the supernova remnant contains a stellar-mass black hole that is emitting powerful, high-energy jets, creating the strange, double-lobed shape.
Jun 1st: Awesome Astronomy June 2022 News Round-up
Time for your June sky guide and news round up with @AwesomeAstroPod. This month we have A companion star that survived a supernova, dark matter stripped away in galaxies, and of course the image of Sagittarius A*.
