Astronomers have discovered that the birth of neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's ...

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.

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new supernova remnant (SNR) using radio observations. The ...

Astronomers have for the first time observed the birth of a magnetar, a highly magnetized, rapidly spinning neutron star, directly linked to some of the universe’s brightest exploding stars. This ...

Artist’s conception of a magnetar surrounded by an accretion disk that is wobbling, or precessing, because of the effects of general relativity. Some models of magnetars suggest that high-speed jets ...

Astro Brief is a podcast collaboration between KSMU, the Missouri Space Grant, and MSU's Department of Physics, Astronomy and ...

A University of Virginia doctoral student and a team of astronomers have, for the first time, captured radio waves from a rare class of exploding star, giving them an unprecedented look into the final ...

It's never too late to solve a cold case. A new paper from Syracuse University researchers proposes an explanation for both a mysterious stellar object discovered in the year 2013 and an astronomical ...
