Notably, these two types of stars have different origins: a neutron star is formed when a massive star undergoes a supernova ...

More massive stars than the Sun have a very different life cycle and follow the right hand path in the diagram above: \(\begin{equation} \begin{aligned} Nebula \rightarrow protostar \rightarrow ...

More massive stars than the Sun have a very different life cycle and follow the right hand path in the diagram above: \({Nebula}\rightarrow{protostar}\rightarrow{main~sequence~star}\rightarrow{red ...

After converging, the binary star system will explode into a Type 1a supernova. Scientists have long predicted that two orbiting white dwarf stars are responsible for creating Type 1a supernovas ...

A supernova explosion usually leaves behind an extraordinarily dense object called a neutron star. In some cases, two neutron stars will remain bound to each other after their massive stellar ...

"This work provides a crucial foundation for interpreting gravitational wave detections of neutron star mergers ... end of their lives in a brilliant supernova explosion. These incredibly ...

massive stars and reconstruct nearby star formation history. "It was only once we had completed the work that we realized we could also use the sample to estimate the supernova rate," said Wright.
