"This discovery is giving us unique insights into how a supernova-producing star explodes," said David Burrows, a senior scientist and professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State University and a co-author of the paper to be published in Nature.
"This explosion seems to be characteristic of the vast majority of supernovae -- those that do not contain gamma rays.All the data we are collecting, beginning with the initial shock wave, will help us to more fully understand why some supernovae make gamma rays and others do not," said Burrows, who is the lead scientist for Swift's X-ray telescope (XRT), which detected the first signals from the new supernova and has continued to observe its evolution.
The Swift satellite is controlled by Penn State from its Mission Operations Center at University Park.

The principal analyses of the X rays from the new supernova were done by members of the XRT instrument team led by Burrows, including Kim Page and Andy Beardmore at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom and Judy Racusin, a graduate student at Penn State. -
