These ancient objects are among the least understood SNe.
An extremely bright, hydrogen deficient, fast-evolving supernova that shines with the energy borrowed from an exotic type of neutron star with an ultra-powerful magnetic field has been spotted by Indian researchers. A deep study of such ancient spatial objects can help probe the mysteries of the early universe, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) said. Supernovae (SNe) are highly energetic explosions in the universe releasing an enormous amount of energy. Such type of supernovae called SuperLuminous Supernova (SLSNe) are very rare.
