The article describes the conduct of a study by researcher Rasmus Voss at Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands on the formation of one type of supernova. Voss and a colleague and theoretical astronomer Gijs Nelemans sought to develop a model which suggested that the presence of X-ray signals could precede a type Ia supernova, which is an exploding star astronomers use to measure the expansion of the universe. Their work may help supernova specialists to use X-ray data in the conduct of their research.
