So astronomers can measure the light curve of a type 1a supernova, calculate its intrinsic brightness, and then determine how far away it is, since the apparent brightness diminishes with distance ...

The project began when scientists at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) in the US first noticed strange light curve behaviors while studying late-time Type Ia supernovae in ...

Scientists using radio wavelength data from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) spotted a strangely symmetrical sphere located thousands of light-years away.

"This supernova has an exceptionally broad light curve." The new discovery could help astronomers weed out unusual Type-1a supernovas and improve their estimates of cosmic distances. "We are ...

located just 150 light-years away from Earth. These stars are on a collision course, destined to explode in a Type 1a supernova—a cosmic event that will outshine the moon itself by up to ten times.

They then fed these light curves into a machine learning algorithm, which was trained to identify the particular supernovae they wanted — the Type 1a supernovae. The machine learning aspect was ...

A pair of white dwarfs, located just 150 light-years from Earth, appears doomed to die in a type 1a supernova that will shine brighter than anything currently visible in the night sky. But ...
