A new class of ultra-long-duration γ-ray bursts (GRBs) has recently been suggested, with durations in excess of 10,000 seconds, and now a supernova (SN 2011kl) has been found to be associated ...

Super-luminous supernovae1,2,3,4 that radiate more than 1044 ergs per second at their peak luminosity have ... The super-luminous supernova PS1-11ap: bridging the gap between low and high ...

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, ...

A team of astronomers, including Carnegie's Benjamin Shappee, Nidia Morrell, and Ian Thompson, has discovered the most-luminous supernova ever observed, called ASAS-SN-15lh. It is two times more ...

A blazing-bright object appears to be the most luminous supernova ever witnessed, and it's blowing the top off researchers' models of how such explosions are powered. When certain stars reach the end ...

Typically, super luminous supernovae are the result of thermonuclear combustion — or a big star bomb, essentially. Those types of explosions shine bright, but they can’t get nearly as bright ...

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 ...

In late May of 2015, scientists noticed something twice as bright as the brightest known supernova ever seen. Researchers initially thought the object, which they dubbed “ASASSN-15lh,” was ...

Texas astronomers find super-luminous supernova. Research reveals that Supernova 2008am is the brightest “self-interacting” supernova discovered.

The new data concerns a supernova called ASASSN-15lh, a "super luminous supernova" that was hundreds of times brighter than most supernovae and, if we're keeping track, ...
