What exactly is happening during a gamma-ray burst? Maybe, the lowest frequency radio observations have the answer!
Today’s authors search for low frequency radio bursts following gamma-ray bursts to test its emission mechanism!
Does the Hubble tension arise from heterogeneity in Type-Ia supernovae?
How standardizable of a candle are Type-1a supernovae? Learn how differing initial conditions causing a white dwarf to exceed the Chandrasekhar limit and explode might reconcile independent measurements of the Universe’s expansion rate and history.
Is AT2018cow the Black Sheep of Transient Astronomy?
Does the UV emission from the Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient AT2018cow stand out from the herd? Read today’s bite to find out.
Invisible Tripwires in a Minefield: Could Dark Matter Ignite White Dwarfs?
Could dark matter be responsible for spontaneously exploding white dwarfs? Find out in today’s bite about Ca-rich gap transients!
“Barbie” Breaks Another Record: ZTF20abrbeie is the most energetic optical transient observed so far
Supermassive black holes continue to surprise: a recent extragalactic explosion proved to be the most luminous optical transient we have observed so far. Read about “Scary Barbie” and a potential explanation for her origin!
