Scientists identify flaws in astrophysical models of massive stars and supernovae
Experimental results. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-54040-4 An international research team has found evidence that astrophysical models of massive stars and supernovae are inconsistent with observational gamma-ray astronomy. The research team used a new experimental method to study the unstable isotope iron-60. Iron-60 is of interest to astrophysicists because it occurs inside massive stars and is ejected from supernovae…
