"For the most part, massive stars make black holes. The more massive the star, the heavier the black hole," Fishbach said, until stars reach a certain mass threshold beyond which the physics of their ...

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and these signals offer new insights into how massive stars meet their demise.
