That’s why we suggested that there is a neutron star hiding inside the dust cloud,†Matsuura added.
“In spite of the supreme complexity of a supernova explosion and the extreme conditions reigning in the interior of a neutron star, the detection of a warm blob of dust is a confirmation of several predictions,†lead author Dany Page, astrophysicist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, explained in the statement.
The dust and gas around the supernova need to subside further for astronomers to say with any certainty that the extremely young star really exists.
