| We would like to understand better the connection between gamma ray bursts and supernovae. |
| The explosions of low-mass stars can be triggered by the accretion of mass from a companion star in a binary system to create classical, or Type Ia, supernovae. |
| As these stars used up their fuel, they would eventually contract and cool as white dwarfs or explode as supernovae. |
| From the high lancets, sunlight streamed in, and the dust motes flared like supernovae as they passed into the light. |
| This was done by using Hubble to peer halfway across the universe to find ancient exploding stars called supernovae. |
| Violent events such as stellar flares, supernovae and the explosion of galactic nuclei produce a concoction of subatomic particles, primarily protons and electrons. |
