Astronomers from the Western Sydney University in Australia and elsewhere report the detection of a new supernova remnant (SNR) candidate. The newfound SNR candidate, dubbed "Raspberry" due to its ...

If the supernova remnant is confirmed, it would be one of the closest to the supermassive black hole that lies in the center of the Milky Way ...

For more than a decade, a ghostly shell of radio light sat in survey data, too faint and ambiguous to be called anything more than a candidate. Now, using Australia’s most powerful radio telescope ...

The Gemini South Multi-Object Spectograph (GMOS) recently captured a dramatic image of a vast cloud complex named DEM L316 located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The peanut-shaped nebula appears to be ...

Using Spektr-RG and Fermi space observatories, German astronomers have investigated the supernova remnant SNR G309.8+00.0 in X-rays and gamma rays. Results of the new study, presented June 25 on the ...

The tattered shell of the first-ever recorded supernova was captured by the US Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera, which is mounted on the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Víctor M.

Type Ia supernovae are critical tools in astronomy, since they all appear to explode with the same intensity, allowing us to use their brightness as a measure of distance. The distance measures ...

A star exploded roughly 260 light-years from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and ...

Supernova remnants represent the expanding shells of gas and magnetic fields left behind after a star explodes. As the blast wave ploughs into the surrounding interstellar medium it drives strong ...
