Research has found conservatives have more grey matter in their amygdala, which processes fear, while left-wing liberals have ...

Because Type Ia supernovae always explode at 1.4 solar masses, they all have more or less the same characteristics, including how brightly they shine.

Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. I cover aerospace, astronomy & hosted The Cosmic Controversy Podcast. Science fiction authors have long had a field day with the potential ...

Looking for efficiency and accuracy, Brout fills up his supernova collection by employing machine learning algorithms that vigorously scout out as many Type 1a's as possible. (Yet another reason ...

The graduate physicist from the University of Berkeley came to Coonabarabran, NSW, so he could use the Anglo-Australian Telescope to track down a rare cosmic phenomenon called type 1A supernovae.

I am lucky to have lived through this amazing era of cosmic discovery around the turn of the century. Surveys like SDSS, ...

Most of the heat that a star generates comes about through nuclear reactions in its core. The reactions are triggered when the high pressure and temperature within the star cause hydrogen atoms to ...

After enough mass has accumulated on the white dwarf, it explodes as a type 1a supernova. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the August 24, 2012, issue of Science, published by AAAS.

Such core-collapse supernovae are responsible for producing the cosmos’ predominantly lighter metals --- from oxygen to silicon and sulfur. In contrast, so-called Type 1a supernovae are ...

Diagnosis. Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a in a patient with Albright hereditary osteodystrophy, characterized by hypocalcemia, hypothyroidism, growth-hormone deficiency and insulin resistance.

On one side are tools that probe the relatively nearby universe, like measuring the brightnesses of a certain kind of exploding star known as Type 1a supernovae. These supernovae all erupt with ...
