This is a list of supernova candidates, or stars that are believed to soon become supernovae. Type II supernova progenitors include stars with at least 8~10 solar masses that are in the final stages of their evolution. Prominent examples of stars in this mass range include Antares, Spica, [ 2] Gamma Velorum, [ 3] Mu Cephei, and members of the ...
SN 2023rve. SN 2023rve is a type II supernova that happened in the 10th magnitude barred spiral galaxy NGC 1097 on September 8, 2023. [1] Scientists from the McDonald Observatory in the state of Texas, United States, have observed the supernova and conducted photometric measurements, they described it to be the brightest supernova in the sky as ...
Cassiopeia A ( Cas A) ( listen ⓘ) is a supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Cassiopeia and the brightest extrasolar radio source in the sky at frequencies above 1 GHz. The supernova occurred approximately 11,000 light-years (3.4 kpc) away within the Milky Way; [ 2 ][ 3 ] given the width of the Orion Arm, it lies in the next-nearest ...
The Crab Nebula is a pulsar wind nebula associated with the 1054 supernova. The known history of supernova observation goes back to 1006 AD. All earlier proposals for supernova observations are speculations with many alternatives. Since the development of the telescope, the field of supernova discovery has expanded to other galaxies.
A supernova ( pl.: supernovae or supernovas) is a powerful and luminous explosion of a star. A supernova occurs during the last evolutionary stages of a massive star, or when a white dwarf is triggered into runaway nuclear fusion. The original object, called the progenitor, either collapses to a neutron star or black hole, or is completely ...
The Type Ib supernova SN 2008D [1] [2] in galaxy NGC 2770, shown in X-ray (left) and visible light (right), at the corresponding positions of the images. (NASA image.) [3]Type Ib and Type Ic supernovae are categories of supernovae that are caused by the stellar core collapse of massive stars.
