New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise ...

An international research team led by the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made significant ...

Scientists have uncovered the long-sought mechanism behind low-field magnetars, showing that supernova fallback material ...

This process involves supernova-ejected material falling inward during the "proto-neutron star" phase of these stellar remnants' evolution. The result is known as the Tayler-Spruit dynamo.

There is a lot of complicated but beautiful physics in understanding how this explosion takes place,” says Purdue University astronomer Danny Milisavljevic, who led the team behind the JWST images.

When the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton pointed its telescope at two unidentified sources of light in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud, scientists were able to confirm what seemed an ...
