Supernovae Made Way for Cosmic Reionization
Supernova explosions may have regulated the amount of photons available to reionize the Universe.
Classifying Supernovae
A starter guide to classifying supernovae based on their light curves and spectra.
Mapping Out Massive Stars
Many massive stars die as supernovae, although connection between a star’s life and it’s death is unclear. Today’s paper uses statistical distributions of massive stars and supernovae to link together both ends of the story.
Pinpointing Supernovae that Made it Rain
The bottom of Earth’s oceans contain debris from nearby supernovae that swept past Earth millions of years ago. Today’s paper investigates whether we can use this evidence to triangulate where in the Milky Way these supernovae went off.
Supernovae Cribs
Today’s paper explores the galactic homes of superluminous supernovae — some of the brightest explosions in our universe.
