'We weren't really looking for' it: Astronomers accidentally discover 2 supernovas that exploded from a single star system in cosmic first
Astronomers have identified a supernova remnant beside the well-known Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443), and evidence suggests both are the wreckage of two stars that once orbited each other before exploding separately. -
All in the family: Fermi data links supernova siblings
A study led by KIPAC members and using Fermi/LAT data has uncovered compelling evidence that two neighboring supernova remnants (SNRs), the debris left behind after stars explode, are actually the remains of massive companion stars that once orbited each other before exploding tens to hundreds of thousands of years apart. The study has been published in Nature Communications.
