Researchers using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) have identified a vibrant, ...

A compact stellar corpse in our own galaxy has just delivered one of the strangest surprises in recent astrophysics: a vast, ...

Astronomers from our Physics department have discovered a striking and unexplained shock wave surrounding a dead star. The ...

The stellar corpse is spewing star stuff, which is heating and compressing surrounding gas, resulting in a multicolored ...

A new method to measure the temperature of atoms during the explosive death of a star will help scientists understand the shock wave that occurs as a result of this supernova explosion. An ...

This may come as a shock, if you're moving fast enough. The shock being shock waves. A balloon's 'pop' is shock waves generated by exploded bits of the balloon moving faster than the speed of sound.

Hypersonic flow and shock wave dynamics represent a critical domain in aerospace science, where the physics of high-speed fluid motion are explored under extreme thermodynamic and chemical conditions.

The control of small structures and fast modes needs not only more accurate values in the commonly used dimensions (, u, T, P), but also, in fact more essentially, the controls from more dimensions.

Underwater electrical discharges provide a compelling method for generating intense shock waves and complex fluid dynamics in aquatic environments. These processes occur when high-voltage electrical ...

Gas and dust flowing from stars can, under the right conditions, clash with a star's surroundings and create a shock wave.

Astronomers have spotted a white dwarf, the remnant core of a dead star creating shockwaves as it moves through space. The ...
