Supernova explosions element detection.

AI Thread Summary
Astrophysicists detect elements in supernovae primarily through optical spectroscopy, which analyzes emission lines to identify the chemical composition. Type II supernovae, for example, are noted for their hydrogen content. The discussion references a specific resource, "The Stars" by Roger John Tayler, as a valuable guide on the topic. Participants express gratitude for the information, indicating its relevance for academic projects. Spectroscopy remains a crucial method for understanding stellar explosions and their elemental makeup.

Hey ppl i wanted to know that wat is the name of the method with which astrosphysicists are able to detect the elements present in supernovae.for eg they say type 2 suprnva is mainly hydrogen containing.

Is it by spectroscopy if yes which one? pleasez temme soon
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
Optical spectroscopy via detection of emission lines is the way to determine elements remotely.

Read this page (P. 197) in The stars By Roger John Tayler. The paperback edition is not very expensive.
 
Short, succinct, and well supported by theory and observational evidence . . .
 
ya thanks astronuc i need to do a chemistry project ill do it on spectroscopy thanks...
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Could fast radio bursts be alien radar signals?'

Both have short pulses of emission and a wide spectral bandwidth, covering a wide variety of frequencies: "Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are detected over a wide range of radio frequencies, including frequencies around 1400 MHz, but have also been detected at lower frequencies, particularly in the 400–800 MHz range. Russian astronomers recently detected a powerful burst at 111 MHz, expanding our understanding of the FRB range. Frequency Ranges: 1400 MHz: Many of the known FRBs have been detected...
