Astronomers have detected strange "wobbles" in the light curve of a super bright supernova, hinting that a magnetar was born inside the extreme stellar explosion.

Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar—a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star—and confirmed that it's the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the ...

A Northwestern University-led team of astronomers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to discover a former star that exploded millions of years ago. The star, which was in a nearby galaxy, exploded ...

Researchers found a magnetic star core acting as a high speed engine to power a record breaking luminous supernova.

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and these signals offer new insights into how massive stars meet their demise.

Within the rubble of an exploded star, astrophysicists have found unexpectedly high amounts of two ingredients essential for life: chlorine and potassium. The discovery could help explain where these ...
