Astronomers have discovered that the birth of neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's ...

Astro Brief is a podcast collaboration between KSMU, the Missouri Space Grant, and MSU's Department of Physics, Astronomy and ...

A new analysis from NASA using the Hubble Space Telescope shows that the Crab Nebula, the remnant of a supernova recorded in 1054, is still rapidly expanding, offering rare, direct evidence that the ...

Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar—a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star—and confirmed that it's the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the ...

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new supernova remnant (SNR) using radio observations. The ...

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and these signals offer new insights into how massive stars meet their demise.

Astronomers call this "eruptive mass loss," and it's a stellar drama we're still trying to fully grasp.

Artist’s conception of a magnetar surrounded by an accretion disk that is wobbling, or precessing, because of the effects of general relativity. Some models of magnetars suggest that high-speed jets ...
