This is a surprising finding as astronomers had expected that the light curve would not only continue decreasing but even experience a sharp drop, rather than flattening into a plateau. The discovery ...
BERKELEY, CA — A group of scientists affiliated with the SuperNova Legacy Survey (SNLS) have found startling evidence that there is more than one kind of Type Ia supernova, a class of exploding stars ...
A small, seemingly technical assumption baked into the way astronomers standardize Type Ia supernovae may be responsible for the growing tension between different measurements of dark energy. New data ...
Astrophysicists have discovered how to control the 'micolensing' effects of strongly lensed Type 1a Supernovae with supercomputers at NERSC. Armed with this knowledge they believe they will be able to ...
Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia's) are the extraordinarily bright and remarkably similar "standard candles" astronomers use to measure cosmic growth, a technique that in 1998 led to the discovery of dark ...
(Nanowerk News) This is a surprising finding ("A year-long plateau in the late-time near-infrared light curves of type Ia supernovae") as astronomers had expected that the light curve would not only ...
