Supernova can be formed due to the explosion of star system in our galaxy

Our solar system is a single star system. But this is not necessarily true for all star systems in our galaxy. There are many multi-star systems in our galaxy. Most of these are binary systems, consisting of two stars. There are also some systems in which there are more than two stars. When it comes to stars, supernovas are also mentioned. Supernova is the last stage of a star, after which it explodes. Broadly speaking, when a star explodes, it becomes very bright. This is called supernova.

Astronomers keep an eye on any potential supernova explosions because of their effects on the entire universe. In this effort, a team of researchers has come to know about a quadruple star system, which is known as HD 74438. This may represent a new channel through which thermonuclear supernova explosions can occur in the universe.

The HD 74438 star system was discovered in the year 2017. It consists of a pair of stars, which revolve around each other. Along with this, two more pairs of stars are also nearby. Studies have shown that the HD 74438 star system is the smallest of all such systems. It is only 43 million years old. Now astronomers at the University of Canterbury’s Mount John Observatory in New Zealand have discovered that this star system is made up of four gravitationally bound stars.

in the journal Nature Astronomy published In the study, scientists have told that the orbits of the inner binary are changing due to the gravitational effect of the outer binary system. This makes it even more unique. Researchers tried to simulate the orbits of stars in the future. They found that such gravitational dynamics could lead to one or more collisions. This can lead to a number of events, including the death of stars, and such stars can cause thermonuclear supernovae. Although these are future events, on which scientists are doing more in-depth research. We hope to have more information in the coming times.
