Newly discovered supernova may rewrite exploding star origin theories
A supernova discovered by an international group of astronomers has provided an unprecedented look at the first moments of a violent stellar explosion. The team, led by the University of HawaiĘ»i (UH) Institute for Astronomy’s (IfA) Ben Shappee and Carnegie Observatories’ Tom Holoien, found a mysterious signature in the light from the explosion’s first hours. Their findings are published in a trio of papers in the Astrophysical Journal.
