 11,400 light-years away, an extremely rare star-based system discovered

Astronomers have discovered an extremely rare star system that may have a massive explosion in the future, resulting in a shower of gold into space.

This star-based system is so rare that experts estimate that there are only 10 such systems in our galaExperts say that the conditions in this system are exactly the same as the collonova caused by the merger of two neutron stars. The merger of these stars produces an explosion 1000 times brighter than a conventional nova.xy.The cluster of 2,176 stars lies 11,400 light-years from Earth and was first spotted by NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, which was launched in 2004.

Observations from the Smarts 1.5-meter telescope at the Cerro Tolulo Inter-American Observatory in Chile have led astronomers to conclude that the system will one day cause a kilonova.

According to experts, there is a neutron star in this system that was formed due to an 'ultra-striped supernova' and a massive star orbiting around it that is itself in the process of becoming an 'ultra-striped supernova'. Is.An ultra-stripped supernova differs from a normal supernova in that the resulting explosion produces little or no material. According to experts, this happens because the outer atmosphere of the exploding star destroys its companion star.

The exploding star then becomes a neutron star. But because this supernova does not have explosive power, it means that its companion star is gone. Whereas a conventional supernova ejects its companion star from the system.
