A massive nova explosion sent shockwaves through space around it, creating new implications for our understanding of nova events.
What makes RS Ophiuchi so special?
It is supernovas that create systems like RS Ophiuchi. The star system is made up of two stars; a normal star and a white dwarf. The white dwarf was created when an old star burned out, collapsing in on itself. They are usually small, compact stars, but we have seen someIn systems like RS Ophiuchi, white dwarfs often siphon material from the larger, living star. Once that material reaches a critical level, it creates a nova explosion like the one these scientists studied.
Additionally, we may even be able to see if there is anything about them that makes them special. Because this is the first time scientists have observed these kinds of particle speeds in a nova, they want to see if anything makes it stand out from other novas out there. If there is something, we may be able to use it to gain a better understanding of the events linked to nova explosions.
