According to theoretical physicist Matt Caplan, it is important to understand how these explosions occur for all sorts of applications, from the production of elements to the expansion of the universe. Caplan studies astromaterials – the solids that form inside dead stars – and examines their properties to better interpret astronomical observations of dead stars. In a recent paper he co-authored with fellow theoretical physicist Charles Horowitz, the two posited that atoms of uranium sink to the centers of aging white dwarfs as they cool. White dwarfs, also known as degenerate dwarfs, are the hot, dense core remnants of long-dead small stars.
