This particular supernova, SN 2011kl, was not quite as luminous as typical super-luminous supernovae, and it may represent a population of events that is not easily discovered by supernova ...

Observations of two slow-to-fade super-luminous supernovae are reported; both show relatively fast rise times and blue colours, which are incompatible with pair-instability models.

The super-luminous supernova ASAS-SN15lh is the most luminous ever measured. Here, an artist's illustration visualizes what it would be like to see the supernova from an exoplanet located about ...

The newly found super-luminous supernova was discovered by the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae team (ASAS-SN), an international collaboration headquartered at the Ohio State University ...

Brightest-ever supernova isn’t a supernova after all Long observation suggests the flare was a supermassive black hole devouring a star.

The interaction between the supernova ejecta and the previously puffed-off material can cause the supernova to brighten to the super-luminous range.

Machine-learning technology developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory played a key role in the discovery of supernova ASASSN-15lh, an exceptionally powerful explosion that was 570 billion times ...

These so-called super-luminous supernovas apparently come in three different flavors, only one of which is well-understood. [Amazing Supernova Photos] ...

And it’s incredibly luminous, shining 20 times brighter than all of the stars in the Milky Way Galaxy combined. The supernova is so unequaled in scope that it could completely change how ...

SUPER LUMINOUS Is this the supernova that will beat all supernovae? This is the question astronomers and supernova watchers are asking after a peer review paper published in Science detailed the ...
