A Beginners Guide to Predicting Supernovae

A Beginners Guide to Predicting Supernovae

by Roel Lefever | Aug 27, 2022 | Daily Paper Summaries

If the light from supernovae travels at, unsurprisingly, the speed of light (which really is the upper limit here), how can we predict them? Time travel, is that you? Spoiler alert: it isn’t. It’s neutrinos.

(almost) No Time (for stars) to Die

(almost) No Time (for stars) to Die

by Sahil Hegde | Jun 27, 2022 | Daily Paper Summaries

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!

Could Companion Stars Cause Stripped-Envelope Supernovae?

Could Companion Stars Cause Stripped-Envelope Supernovae?

by Sarah Bodansky | May 26, 2022 | Daily Paper Summaries

How do you make a supernova without hydrogen and helium lines? The answer may surprise you! (It’s probably binary stars)

UR: Physical Properties of the Host Galaxies of Ca-rich Transients

UR: Physical Properties of the Host Galaxies of Ca-rich Transients

by Guest | May 24, 2022 | Undergraduate Research

In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, discover how Yuxin Dong explores the origins of Calcium-rich transients, a peculiar type of supernovae

Could some short and long gamma-ray bursts have the same parents?

Could some short and long gamma-ray bursts have the same parents?

by Alice Curtin | May 21, 2022 | Daily Paper Summaries

Today’s authors discovered a kilonova associated with a long gamma-ray burst! Read on to hear about how this might flip the gamma-ray burst world upside down.

Interpreting The Relics of Stellar Burials

Interpreting The Relics of Stellar Burials

by Lindsay DeMarchi | Apr 22, 2022 | Daily Paper Summaries

The authors of today’s paper seek to uncover what is occulted in the final moments of a massive star’s death. To this end, they outline the feasibility of measuring the background flux of “relic neutrinos” and connect them to their origins.
