I Survived a Type Ia, and All I Got Was This Kick Velocity
Some type Ia supernovae involve a companion star that somehow survives the energetic explosion. What can we learn from these companions?
Ia’m Just Getting Started: A Type Ia Supernova’s First Day
See how astronomers trace a type Ia supernova’s “first steps” back to its origin.
Kickin’ It Into Overdrive With Stellar Escapees
Follow along as we zoom through the stars with these hypervelocity stellar survivors and uncover their explosive origins.
Holy Cow! Is our journey through the universe the reason for the Hubble Tension?
We move through the universe relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background. Could our movement cause our measurements of the Hubble constant to be biased?
TLDR: the TRGB gives us another H0tTake!
The Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) allows for another H0 measurement to enter the ring. Credit for “H0tTake” goes to the conference “Tensions between the Early and the Late Universe” hosted at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics!
Probing the Surroundings of Tycho’s Supernova
A supernova that Tycho Brahe studied in 1572 may yet have something to tell us about what causes supernovae.
