Using the Hubble Space Telescope and an array of other instruments, astronomers have probed supernova wreckage in the Large ...
A team of astronomers led by The University of Texas at Austin’s Howie Marion has detected a flash of light from the companion to an exploding star. This is the first time astronomers have witnessed ...
A unique dataset of Type Ia Supernovae being released today could change how cosmologists measure the expansion history of the Universe. Dr Mathew Smith and Dr Georgios Dimitriadis from Lancaster ...

Type Ia supernovae represent the dramatic thermonuclear explosions of white dwarf stars, typically triggered in binary systems by processes such as accretion from a companion or the merger of two ...
Ironically, to study dark energy — a murky, unknown something that seems to act as an accelerant for our universe’s expansion — astronomers rely on brilliant supernovae. From 2013 to 2019, the Dark ...
The most refined and comprehensive version of the technique that discovered dark energy has returned a new result that scientists are calling “tantalizing,” potentially hinting that dark energy may ...
“The explosions of white dwarfs play a crucial role in astronomy,” said Priyam Das, a study co-author and PhD student at the University of New South Wales Canberra, Australia. “Yet, despite their ...
