The explodability criterion: How to make a star go supernova
Today’s authors present some new insights into how stars explode!
Could binaries grow the globular cluster family tree?
The presence of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters has puzzled astronomers for decades. Today’s paper investigates whether binary stellar mergers could explain this strange phenomenon!
Could a heart of darkness power pair-instability supernovae?
Pair-Instability Supernovae could be the fate of some of the universe’s most massive stars. Today’s Astrobite explores if dark matter accumulated in the cores of these stars could help drive these gargantuan explosions!
