Two international teams zoned in on a potential answer to a decades-long mystery surrounding ephemeral cosmic X-rays.

When it comes to star formation, not all galaxies are the same. Some are quenched, meaning they've depleted their star ...

The most-distant, super-luminous supernovae found to date have been observed by an international team, including Raymond Carlberg of the University of Toronto's Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics.

This week's image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows the aftermath of an epic explosion in space, caused by the death of a massive star.

The enormous energy of a single super-luminous supernova could disrupt a significant fraction of such a galaxy and, in some cases, cause the star-formation process to come to a halt.

New Delhi, July 10 An extremely bright, hydrogen-deficient, fast-evolving supernova that shines with the energy borrowed from an exotic type of neutron star with an ultra-powerful magnetic field ...

The study has also established the role of DOT in exploring very rare distant super-luminous supernova in future, according to a statement issued today by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Using ESA's XMM-Newton spacecraft, Chinese astronomers investigated a luminous supernova remnant (SNR) known as W49B, which is located most likely between 26,000 and 36,800 light-years away from the ...

Super-luminous supernovae are the brightest explosions in the Universe. In just a few months, a super-luminous supernova can release as much energy as our Sun will in its entire lifespan. And at its ...

This NASA illustration shows what the super-luminous supernova SN 2006gy may have looked like. (Image credit: NASA/CXC/M.Weiss) ...

Super luminous supernovas — extra bright stellar explosions — are believed to be rare. The newly discovered supernova is especially rare: It is more than twice as luminous as any supernova observed to ...

Super-luminous supernovae are similar, but unique conditions around the exploding star lead to an explosion twenty times brighter than an ordinary supernova.
