Telescopes watched this outburst from its earliest hours, something only definitively achieved once before. When they ...

My research focuses on supernova explosions, cosmic-ray acceleration, and nuclear processes in astrophysical environments. By combining models of high-energy astrophysics with planetary science, I ...

In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help astronomers find a supernova right as it begins. At this very moment, ...
