Waiting for Betelgeuse to Explode

Our ALMA observations show that Betelgeuse is rotating with a projected velocity of νeq sini = ± km s-1 at the equivalent continuum angular radius R

One day, Betelgeuse will explode as a Type IIP supernova, becoming exceptionally bright and leaving behind a neutron star As it does, it could

betelgeuse Betelgeuse is a red supergiant nearing the end of its lifetime in a supernova explosion, potentially within the next 1,000 years

betelgeuse A bow shock and other structure in the direction of the motion of Betelgeuse suggests that it has affected the organisation of the distant
