Sherwood Richers joined the UT faculty in 2023, where he is currently teaching courses in undergraduate astronomy and general ...

In such supernovae, called "core-collapsing supernovae" (CCSN), the core of a massive star undergoes sudden collapse when the energy generated from its fusion energy can no longer counteract the ...

The rapid spin of this white dwarf, that is vampirically taking stellar matter away from a companion star, could be explained by its shrinking radius. While the white dwarf won't erupt in a supernova ...

This is not to be confused with a supernova, a star's "core collapse" that leads to its complete destruction. According to NASA, that can only happen to stars about eight times the mass of our sun.

The event was what's known as a “core-collapse supernova,” when a star eight times the mass of the sun explodes at the end of its life and leaves behind a black hole or much smaller neutron star made ...

Researchers can use the results of this new study in realistic simulations of supernova explosions. Nearly all the energy released in a core-collapse supernova is carried away by neutrinos.

Core-collapse supernovae (massive stellar explosions) generate these low-frequency gravitational waves, offering a rare glimpse into stellar interiors. Despite their weak... Supernova explosions ...

Typically, supernovae occur in two flavors. During a core-collapse supernova, a massive star (more than 10 times the mass of our sun) exhausts its fuel and the star's core caves in to a black hole ...
