EVSN - Neutron Star in Supernova 1987A May Have Been Found

The 365 Days of Astronomy

From March 1, 2021.

Scientists have been looking for the reclusive neutron star expected to be at the center of supernova 1987A for over thirty years, and they may have finally found it in new images from the Chandra and NuSTAR observatories. Plus, a look at conflicting papers on the object that wiped out the dinosaurs, a roundup of news, and this week’s What’s Up.
