A white dwarf spirals into the envelope of an evolved companion and continues to the core where strong accretion gives rise to a thermonuclear explosion. This scenario would be compatible with a double degenerate origin for Type Ia supe ...

Starburst Galaxies Under the Microscope: High
... Since the supernova rate is dominated by stars with a mass of about 8 M (the most numerous stars still producing supernovae), which have a lifetime of about 3 10 7 years, the BrG and [Fe II] emission trace phases of the starbursts that are temporally separated by this amount of time. In principle, ...

Likely formation of general relativistic radiation pressure supported
... The reason behind the existence of non-singular cosmic objects with such higher masses is that they are not supported by cold quantum pressure alone. On the other hand, they are supported not only by pg but partly by pr too (Mitra 2009a,b). Even when one would work at a purely Newtonian level (z ≪ 1 ...

Studies of ice core show that concentrations of CO2 have not been so high for nearly half a million years. At the current rate o ...
