New kind of supernova explosion reveals a naked starJesper Sollerman and his team from Stockholm University participate in a study revealing a new kind of exploding stars,one that is stripped of all the most common elements in the Universe. They have used the NOT, as well as Keck and the VLT to study this special object which reveals new information about how stars are structured and about mass-loss phases before the explosion. See Stockholm University press release. The results are published in Schulze et al. 2025, Nature 644, 634-639 |
