New research on massive stars, led by Dr Ben Davies from @LJMU_Astro, has been published with @RoyalAstroSoc
“With this early-warning system we can get ready to observe in real-time...and watch the surface of the star getting literally ripped apart in front of our eyes.” ⬇
Astronomers from @LJMU & @umontpellier have devised an early warning system to sound the alert when a massive star is about to end its life in a supernova explosion. The work was published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Read more ⬇️
