Revealing the magnetic universe
... that the amplification of this ‘seed’ field, for example via galaxy formation, mergers, accretion flows and supernovae explosions, as well as the feedback associated with all these processes, is required to produce the field we observe today...

Evolving human space culture – reflections on humanity’s cultural potential in space
...? No, we should not, for two reasons. The first is that the universe is a violent place. Stars engulf planets, supernovas fire lethal rays across space, asteroids hurtle around at hundreds of miles a second. Granted, these phenomena do not...

Does a second black hole lurk near the centre of the Milky Way?
...not find any corresponding compact objects, a wide velocity dispersion caused by a local energy input, such as a supernova explosion, was ruled out. Further analysis of CO-0.40-0.22 using simulations of gas clouds attracted by a strong gravity source...

Missing matter still lost, as Fast Radio Burst not quite what it seems say researchers
... radio afterglow, and that its existence and timescale was not in line with originating from a pulsar or supernovae. As the team were able to measure the redshift of the burst along with its dispersion signal, the...
