A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, working with a colleague from Université Paris-Saclay, has found evidence that suggests supernovae and their progenitors may have contributed more dust to ...
New work looks at using machine learning to decipher the early stages of supernovae explosions by reconstructing the light emitted during the outburst. The research was presented today at the 2022 National Astronomy Meeting ...
