Today’s authors challenge what you think a supernova remnant looks like with their discovery!
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, Mckenzie Ferrari compares real optical supernova spectra to models to identify their progenitors.
How do neutron stars acquire such strong magnetic fields? Why do these fields differ between pulsars and magnetars? Today’s paper suggests that *convective dynamos* may be at play.
The dust destruction efficiency of supernovae may not be a high as we previously thought. Why is this, and what can it tell us about star formation?
