Dr. Mark Kennedy, School of Physics, UCC has led a study on modelling the aftershocks felt by a star due to the thermonuclear explosion which occurs on the surface of a nearby neutron star.
The study involves data taken using the worlds largest telescope, and is co-authored by 21 others based in Ireland, UK, USA, Finland, Netherlands and Australia.
