X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light

Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130

Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…
