UCL models of lopsided supernova debris reassign four stars once credited to hypernovae

UCL astronomers modeling lopsided supernova debris find that four peculiar stars once attributed to hypernovae are better explained without them. The verdict is a statistical preference across four stars, and it depends on how poorly supernova debris mixes, a question the authors say is still open.

Researchers using the EAGLE universe simulations report in MNRAS that the Sun's place in the Milky Way's outskirts is about as good for life as locations get. The ranking rests on modeled hazards and assumed chemistry, so it says where conditions favor life and leaves open whether any life is there.
