This is particularly true for one particular kind of supernova known as Type Ia. An overview of the different proposed Type Ia supernova progenitors has been published on the arXiv preprint server.

The subject of this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image is a supernova-hosting galaxy located about 600 million light-years ...

Designated SN 2023adsy, the newfound stellar explosion is the most distant Type Ia supernova so far detected. The finding was detailed in a research paper published June 7 on the pre-print server ...

Hubble captures supernova SN 2022aajn in Gemini, aiding research on cosmic distances and intergalactic dust effects.

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 ...

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, set to begin its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) later this year, will track millions of Type Ia supernovae to advance our understanding of dark energy.

SN 2024PI is special because it's classified as a Type Ia supernova. A white dwarf, which is an incredibly dense, small "dead" star (about the size of a planet), must exist before this special ...

118, No. 842 (April 2006), pp. 560-571 (12 pages) ABSTRACT A comparative study of near–maximum‐light optical spectra of 24 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is presented. The spectra are assigned to four ...
