4. Controlled by distant explosions
   03-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A time-series of high-resolution spectra in the optical and ultraviolet has twice been obtained just a few minutes after the detection of a gamma-ray bust explosion in a distant galaxy. The international team of astronomers responsible for these observations derived new conclusive evidence about the nature of the surroundings of these powerful explosions linked to the death of massive stars.

8. New type of massive stellar death
   12-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
   So far we have thought that the signature of the death of a massive star was an energetic explosion called a "supernova." New observations show that this is not always the case. On the contrary, a team led by Danish researchers has now discovered that some massive stars die by collapsing into a black hole returning very little material into the interstellar medium. The new discovery is published in Nature.
