Born in red giant stars or supernovas, they drift through the galaxy and eventually mingle with interstellar clouds of gas and dust, the places where new stars and planets arise.

For decades, Type Ia supernovae have been exceptional distance markers because they are extraordinarily bright and similar in brightness no matter where they sit in the cosmos.

But short bursts form in older galaxies where such supernovae are far less common.

Kersten and Smirnov, however, show that this decoherence effect does not have any impact on the experimental measurement of the oscillation probability for each neutrino flavour; they only demonstrate this result in cases that are similar to, albeit simpler, than what happens in a supernova, where collective effects occur.

The team's simulations show, perhaps not surprisingly, that potentially habitable planets are more likely to remain so if they form in areas far from dense conglomerations of stars, where more supernova explosions occur.

That's according to a new analysis — part of the biggest census of star - forming regions to date — that focused on stars eight times the mass of our sun or larger (the size that eventually explode as supernovae) at a very early stage in their lifetime, when they'd still be inside the clouds of gas and dust where they formed.

He thought the theory sounded plausible and developed a new way to describe neutrino physics in supernovae, working on newly available $ 25 million supercomputers at the Max Planck Institute, one of the few places in Europe where the computers were available for unclassified research.

But perhaps there are cases where the radiation comes out in the form of X-rays or gamma rays, he says, rather than the visible light astronomers normally look for when searching for supernovae.

«We used seven different models of the cluster to calculate when and where the supernova was going to appear in the future.

«If phosphorus is sourced from supernovae, and then travels across space in meteoritic rocks, I'm wondering if a young planet could find itself lacking in reactive phosphorus because of where it was born?

We present the first results of project SUNBIRD (Supernovae UNmasked By InfraRed Detection), where we aim to uncover CCSNe that otherwise would remain hidden in the complex nuclear regions of LIRGs, and in this way improve the constraints on the fraction that is missed by optical seeing - limited surveys.

Figure: Artist's illustration of Supernova 1987A is based on real data and reveals the cold, inner regions of the exploded star's remnants (in red) where tremendous amounts of dust were detected and imaged by ALMA.

Using Keck, we have traced atoms as they flow from the intergalactic medium into galaxies, where they are incorporated into stars, undergo fusion, and are returned in supernovae and other types of stellar death.

This means they could predict when and where in the field the image of the supernova would appear next.

Chandra had seen hot elements like iron and silicon and magnesium in the supernova cloud, and the shape of some of the material seemed to support the double - jets theory, vaguely following where the beams would be.

NASA (Shock rings around Supernova 1987A)-- larger image While primordial supernovas created much of the heavier elements such as iron found in the Solar System, Sol orbits the galactic core without frequent crossings of the spiral arms where life - threatening supernovas are more common.

Compare this failure to the studio - engineered failure of Walter Hill's Supernova: Where Event Horizon appears strangled in the womb for its entire second half, Hill's picture, despite the studio - mandated changes imposed on it in post-production, bristles with ideas about who we are and, more importantly, what our dreams say about us.

Our students also participate in citizen science through such sites as Zooniverse, where they can assist in actual research while learning about supernovae, ocean ecosystems, or the lives of soldiers during WWI.
