Astronomers capture amazing images of dying stars with supercomputers

Scientists needed the assistance of a supercomputer to be able to turn all the information from the Askap telescope array into real images, which can be viewed online.

The Askap data was transferred to the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre in Perth, Western Australia, where it was processed and converted into images fit for science applications.

Using a supercomputer called Setonix - named after an Australian animal that has become popular with Australians, the quokka aka Setonix brachyurus - they produced the final images, including the traces of the dying star.

Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, operates Askap, which consists of 36 dish antennas that work together as one telescope.

A supernova remnant is a phenomenon that results from the explosion of a dying star and is one of the most obvious signs of this phenomenon.

A star estimated to be more than a million years old, and located between 10,000 and 15,000 light-years from us, is estimated to be more than a million years old!

A supernova can now be studied in unprecedented detail with the help of this image. During the second half of this year, Setonix will undergo its second installation phase.

The vast amounts of data can be processed much faster with this method. It will enable researchers to discover new objects in space and help them better understand our universe.

A large and deeper survey of the sky will soon be undertaken using the Askap telescope array, while the supercomputer ramps up to full operations.

There are many more stunning features to be revealed in the future, and the supernova remnant is just one of them.
