Collapsing super stars Hypernova or Gamma-Ray Bursts
Berkeley CA (SPX) Dec 01, 2015 -
A supercomputer simulation of a mere 10 milliseconds in the collapse of a massive star into a neutron star proves that these catastrophic events, often called hypernovae, can generate the enormous magnetic fields needed to explode the star and fire off bursts of gamma rays visible halfway across the universe.
The results of the simulation, published online in advance of publication in the ...
