- Superluminous supernovae can shine longer and more than ten times brighter than ordinary supernovae.
- SN 2024afav, about one billion light-years away, showed periodic dips over 200 days, with intervals becoming shorter.
- The study identifies a newly formed, rapidly spinning magnetar as the energy source, documenting its birth for the first time.
- The Lense-Thirring effect made the tilted matter disk precess; its shrinking made the dips more frequent.
It means we can test one of our fundamental theories of reality in one of the most extreme environments in the universe.— Joseph Farah, a graduate student at the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) and the University of California, Santa Barbara, discussing testing general relativity in extreme environments.
