The explodability criterion: How to make a star go supernova
Today’s authors present some new insights into how stars explode!
Neutrinos and Natal Kicks in the Inert Black Hole Binary VFTS 243
Today’s paper delves into the inert black hole binary VFTS 243 and what it can tell us about stellar death.
Black Hole, Why Don’t You Come Over? White Dwarf Supernova!
The origin of dim supernovae known as Ca-rich transients is still not well-understood. Could it be that these rare events are set off by an encounter between a white dwarf and a primordial black hole?
Don’t disturb the baby! A black hole discovered to be born quietly
This black hole could have been born without any bright supernova explosion, emitting nothing but a few neutrinos in its formation. Find out how we can tell in today’s paper!
A Stellar Whodunit: Search for a Near-Earth Supernova
Who’s behind this cosmic mystery of stellar proportions? Read on to uncover the truth.
Trying to Crack the Cold Case of Core Collapse Neutrinos
The first (and last) time we observed neutrinos from a supernova was 40 years ago. Are we ready to understand what the next supernova neutrino will tell us?
