Attacking the (Multi-)Messenger: Simulating a Kilonova
Neutron stars (NSs) are the most extreme objects known, composed of a form of matter so extraordinarily dense that it teeters on the brink of collapse into a black hole.

Today’s paper discusses the possibility of seeing neutrinos from the recent bright supernova in the Pinwheel Galaxy!
What if you take the biggest, most massive stars, and watch them explode? Do they look any different from a normal supernova? Let’s find out with today’s supernova iPTF14hls!
Transients are some of the most variable and most explosive objects in our universe. We’ve got a great overview about all different types of transients in this guide!
How long does it take for a star’s core to collapse in a supernova explosion? Today’s authors use observations to place new constraints on the explosion timescale!
How do you make a supernova without hydrogen and helium lines? The answer may surprise you! (It’s probably binary stars)
