Rare Supernova Rips Open a Star, Revealing Its Hidden Anatomy
The observations of a star stripped down to its oxygen- and silicon-rich layers are indicative of an extremely rare stripping process, which can occur due to strong stellar winds, eruptions, or interactions with a companion star, according to the researchers.
Violent supernova spilled a star’s ‘guts’ before exploding
A completely new supernova variant finally shows a glimpse of a star’s innermost “guts” moments before its destruction. Detailed in a study published August 20 in the journal Nature, their study confirms a longstanding theory about the internal structure of massive stellar objects, and kicks off a host of new questions.
