Computer models predict high carbon levels when two white dwarfs merge. “Maybe this is a kind of fluffy mess where the white dwarfs have merged,” Kirshner said. To observe supernovae, astronomers analyze spectra from a computerized telescope, rather than observing the explosions directly. Harvard graduate student Malcolm S. Hicken, who led the study, said that the explosion was also extremely luminous for an unusually long time. “It stayed bright a lot longer than the allowable range that is used...
...Part of the reason for the heft is the suite of instruments it carries, including the largest diameter telescopic camera ever sent to another planet; ground-penetrating radar able to look beneath the Martian surface; and a climate sounder, able to study the atmosphere in both visible and invisible spectra. The ship will also carry a new-generation navigational camera and communications system, to be field-tested for the first time...
