For the first time, astronomers have caught a type Ia supernova being magnified by more than 50 times and split into four images in the night sky thanks to gravitational lensing. The discovery ...

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 ...

This is particularly true for one particular kind of supernova known as Type Ia. An overview of the different proposed Type ...

Astronomers have become adept at spotting these events across the cosmos, with particular attention to a specific class called type Ia supernovae. Much of modern cosmology rests on these events.

The prolonged death of light from type Ia supernovae Supernova observations reveal extended brightness, could help researchers better understand invaluable cosmology tool Date: February 24, 2016 ...

An international team of astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories to sift through the chemical fingerprints left behind in the remnants of a Type Ia supernova known as ...

Now he has a new idea on the identity of the “parents” of one of the most important types of supernovae — type Ia — those used as “standard candles” in cosmology studies that led to ...

A unique dataset of Type Ia Supernovae being released today could change how cosmologists measure the expansion history of the Universe. A unique dataset of Type Ia Supernovae being released today ...

Their work suggests that this and some other precursors of Type Ia supernovae resemble the objects known as protoplanetary nebulae, well known in our own Milky Way galaxy. Lifan Wang of Lawrence ...

Type Ia supernovae are thought to originate from a white dwarf and a companion star in relatively close proximity to one another. According to this hypothesis, the white dwarf — a dense remnant ...

Figure 2: Synthetic multi-colour light curves and spectra of a representative explosion model compared to observations of a normal type Ia supernova. Figure 3: Correlation of the peak brightness ...
