Fermi Identifies Hidden Engine behind Superluminous Supernovae
News Staff
New gamma-ray observations from NASA’s Fermi Space Telescope suggest ultra-magnetic neutron stars called magnetars could be fueling superluminous supernovae, a rare class of stellar explosions with peak luminosities 10-100 times greater than those of standard core-collapse supernovae.
