Scientists have discovered new clues about the supernova remnant called Tycho. The researchers used NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer to look at polarized X-rays.
NASA explains first full-color images from the Webb telescope: A never-before-seen view of the universe.The findings shed light on how conditions in the shock waves caused by titantic stellar explosions – known as supernovae – accelerate particles to near the speed of light.
For the first time, IXPE revealed the geometry to the magnetic fields close to the shock wave, which is still propagating from the initial explosion and forms a boundary around the ejected material. Using data from NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer , international researchers have uncovered new information about the Tycho supernova remnant, an exploded star in the constellation Cassiopeia, the light from which was first seen on Earth in 1572.
